Hi, I'm new here! Been calorie counting for 5 days now and it's going pretty well so far. I haven't lost any weight (but this could be due to buying new scales and them being different to my old ones.) I am 5'4" and 168lbs and am trying to lose about 3 stone over an indeterminate period of time...
My target calorie intake a day is 1400 and I'm supposed to try to burn off an extra 200 (this is not going so well...) I have been only eating about 1100-1200 calories most days this week though and I was wondering if under-eating like this would make me less likely to burn calories?
I don't plan to always under-eat like this, but I've been stressed recently due to uni deadlines and my sleeping is completely messed up, so much so that I tend to miss breakfast AND lunchtime. I'm trying to sort my sleeping out but it's NEVER been good so it's really difficult. Will my bad sleeping habits have a negative effect on my weight loss?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
