[quote=Anonymous]I'm 5'4" and 105-110 lbs, and I eat 2,000-2,300 calories a day when I'm just maintaining my weight. I'm actually trying to put on a little weight (ideally muscle of course!) so I've been tracking my calories, and this is what I consumed before I started gaining; now I'm trying to eat more like 2,500 daily so that I can slowly gain weight. Eating 1,500 daily, which I used to do in college before I started seriously working out, is death to your metabolism, IMO. Nothing made me healthier, happier, and thinner (while also being fit) than learning about lifting weights (HEAVY weights) and getting into an active lifestyle. I eat what I want when I go to restaurants, because it naturally balances out in the end. And at home I eat unprocessed foods because that's what makes me feel good. Be careful with the calorie approach to dieting. Most "fit" women I know don't do that; it just doesn't work all that well, long-term.[/quote]
