[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]OK so let's say your goal weight is 130 lbs[/b]. You would need to eat between 1300 (which is a very low end and 1560 to lose weight. 1560 is the high end and would mean a slower rate of fat loss, but also more sustainable over the long term. So your current rang is not too par off.

So my big questions for how you are currently eating are:

1. How accurately are you [i]really[/i] tracking? Are you weighing and measuring EVERYTHING? Are you counting things like little snacks you grab her and there? Are you measuring out all portions or eyeballing it?

2. How consistently are you sticking to your calorie range? Best way to track this is to take a calendar and every day you hit your range or below you get a red  X, every day you go over you get a big black O.  At the end of the month you should have Xs at the very least 80% of the time and really more like 90% if you are eating at the high end of where you need to be to lose weight.

3. You say you are too hungry if you eat under 1500 calories. What do your calories consist of? Are you eating high protein (at least 0.7 x goal body weight) and high volume foods? I can eat 1500 calorie of bread and lose weight, but I will be a lot more hungry than if I eat 1500 calories of protein and vegetables.  I also find that too much cardio makes me really hungry so maybe reduce cardio and focus more on strength. [/quote]

Np I wouldn't go this low yet.  Make your goal to get to 150 or 155 just to give you an attainable goal.   Eat 500 fewer calories per day and that should have you lose one pound a week.  Maybe lessen your exercise so you are not so hungry?  Drink more water?  Try to get 150 minutes of exercise a week.
