Calorie Counter
Okay, I have a question for fellow calorie counters.
I've been calorie counting for about a month now with no slipups. I lost about 9 pounds in the first 2 weeks & since then I've lost nothing. I haven't changed anything in my diet, however I'm reaching around 800 cals a day (I know, its low) so I've come to the presumption that my body has gone into starvation mode.
What I want to know is if I up my calories each day, will I gain weight or continue to lose? My body has been living off 800 cals, so in theory it should go up, but then its a lot less than the 2,000 recommended to women of my size & weight to maintain.
