[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I eat 1200 calories or less in order to lose. No amount of cardio seems to help me lose weight, although I do it for the health benefits. I lift heavy weights for the same reason. [/quote]
You should eat more, your body is messed up with so few calories. How much do you weight?[/quote]
I have tried eating more, that’s how I got to 160 pounds at 5’6.  I was eating a ton of protein trying out the advice to balance macros, but all it did was make me gain and look like an apple.

I think everyone has a different body chemistry, mine only responds to calorie restriction at this point in my life (40 years old with three kids).  It’s actually quite a bit of food, I eat a ton of veggies![/quote]

I am the 5'6" 140lbs PP who maintains at 2500. You either eat more than you realize or you literally do not move all day. There is no way you have to only eat 1200 calories to stay in shape.[/quote]

This is largely correct - I work at a desk all day, for long hours. I work out for 30-45 mins a day but otherwise there is very little movement.  I do try to track everything I eat, but sometimes I eyeball instead of weighing or measuring a portion. 1200 is definitely the lowest I go, and it’s only in the weight loss phase. I can eat more if I’m just maintaining.

PP how old are you?[/quote]
