[quote=Anonymous]at this size, I think the best thing you can do is get a dexa scan that gives you your basal metabolic rate.  Then, a food scale. Some small people can eat a lot, others have to really watch every bite. I did a scan (two, actually) and discovered my bmr is 980 calories; my  daily burn, with moderate exercise averages  1380 calories, so eating 1200 a day means 1 # loss every 3 weeks or so. And a few days of indulgence puts you right back where you started. Its probably why I've given up going down to 115# (I'm 5'1'.5") and hover closer to 122/4. What i have to do to lose that weight is tough. I will say I have long done IF, as I found that its much easier to eat two meals a day and feel satisfied than 3 tiny ones. I also do occasional 24-48 hour fasts for a reset. Mostly I think its key to build muscle for general health and metabolism. I injured myself and am getting surgery and will be off for several months and have not only seen my fitness slip and weight creep but also mental calm go away. [/quote]
