[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that your body will, to an extent, adjust to calorie limitations. I do not, however, believe that if you ate 1500 calories, you would "get fatter" and suspect that it very much depends on WHAT you are eating, rather than the bare numbers.

For example, if I eat 1500 calories of shitty junk food, I'm going to feel hungry and I'm also likely to gain weight because of what is in the food. The fat, salt, and sugar would kill me. However, if I eat 1500 calories of steamed or roasted vegetables, brown rice, and lean protein, I lose weight without exercising.

You need to be more specific about what you are eating. What did you eat yesterday, for example?[/quote]

Yesterdays meals (I enter everything into my fitness pal and have done for a while):

Brk: coffee with 2% milk  (80 calories) and Garden Lites Egg white Frittata (70 Calories) = 150 calories
Lunch: Vanilla Chocolate and Cream Chobani Yogurt = 170 calories
Dinner: Orange Roughy with Cajun butter (506 cals) + broccoli w butter (152 cals) + coleslaw (62 cals) = 719 calories

Total for day = 1039 calories

You have this same breakfast and lunch every day? I suggest changes.
Your lunch is depressing. Does it have sugar? Have a small cup of soup instead, a plate of veggies with small protein, etc. Include more fruit, nuts, lentils, herbs, fresh food.
For 1,000 calories (which I agree is low) I would do:
Breakfast 200 calories 
Lunch: 300 calories 
Dinner: 500 calories

How much sugar, carbs and packaged food do you have in your diet?

This is a very typical day for me.  I always have the same breakfast and lunch and then mix it up for dinner.  Dinner is always the big meal of the day.

According to My Fitness Pal, my average nutrition split is 30% carbs, 23% Protein and 47% Fat (I'm eating mostly fat?!).  It doesn't break down my avg sugar intake but I am supposed to be eating under 55g per day and I usually do.

I need to have a heavier dinner or I snack really late at night.  I've found my dinner needs to be at least 600 calories.  My lunch and breakfast may depress some but I honestly love it every day.  I work better on an empty stomach and sleep better with a full one.[/quote]

You are not eating mostly fat, you are getting the majority of your calories from fat. That's okay, because fat has more than twice as many calories per gram as carbohydrates and proteins. On keto, we get 75% of calories from fat, 20% from protein and 5% from carbs.[/quote]
