[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  Thyroid says normal but I wonder.  1500 - 1800 cals a day.  I am measuring and meal prepping.  Maybe I need to drink even more water.  [/quote]

No, you need to eat less. [/quote]

Nah.

Sounds more like OP needs more rest and food. Body under stress and thus SLOWS down. Maybe a few days of high carb, low fat, med protein. 20 mins of weight lifting 3x a week.

She’s been dieting for three weeks and eating 1500-1800 calories. This isn’t a situation of chronic dieting with too little calories having slowed down the metabolism. She just needs to reduce her calories by a hundred or two a day to lose a bit faster. [/quote]

If she is eating 1500 calories, subtract 6 miles worth of spent calories (-720), that's [b]780 calories[/b] for the day. Now you are suggesting to eat 520 calories daily? How sustainable is that? Once she stops walking, metabolism will be so slow, eating regular will cause weight gain in FAT.

you are overestimating calories burned through exercise by a LOT.

If oyu are eating x calories consistently and not losing weight then you are eating too many calories, really no way around it. [/quote]
