Going for Goal!
Hi all,
I went to visit in-laws at the weekend, and they were asking when I could begin eating again. I found myself going up the steps.
My DMI looked at me in shock when I explained, then went on to say that she has always stuck to 1000 calories a day, because of her height (5"5) .If she had anymore than that, she would gain weight apparently.
When my HB got wind of this, he said that I should find out if I should be consuming less calories for maintenance because I am a short 5"3.5!
Is this correct - does your daily calories depend on your height? I was of the understanding we increased our calories slowly until we are maintaining at 1500 calories. Or do we actually stop increasing calories once the scales start to stick?
Thanks in advance for your help!
