    Down to the last few pounds. 1200 calories made me feel like crap, but not losing weight if I ate any higher. Advice please?

    @babyfaith It's true! It has been a huge help for me to shake off desire to eat when I'm not hungry. However, when I started feeling weak and sluggish throughout the day, no amount of coffee could fix it :(

    @babyfaith I don't use caffeine in form of pills/supplements, but I always have coffee in the morning before workout and in the afternoon between lunch and dinner. Always black, ground from beans. Why?

    @stilllearning This resonates with me a lot, thank you. I think I want to start looking to recomp, which allows me to add more calories while keep training hard. Go us! You can do it too!

    @notdone You're a tall girl, I bet your TDEE on maintenance must be much higher than mine. What's your exercise routine like?

    @parkeratkins Will do. Probably will build up to 1500-1700 as others have suggested. Thank you for the info!

    @my_name_is_sarah This makes sense. 250 under TDEE maintenance would put me roughly at 1600 (according to tdeecalculator.net). Sounds fairly doable to me. Thank you for the response!

    @lawrencemcdonald123 Do you think eating high protein helps? I'm trying to hit 100gr daily

    @antinomian This is what I needed to hear, thank you. 1500-1700 sounds like a reasonable amount. This way I can eat clean while still incorporate my craving foods moderately, and still stay under.

    @dawn16 I KNOW! Also, ex starve/binge here, can confirm. I need to trust the process too. Thank you for the kind reminder.

    @bushido8000 I've read about her! In fact, that's the kind of body I want to have. I saw her meal prepping on instagram. I would be so happy to be able to eat that much food

    @digitalwilderness You're right. First thing to do today is to throw my scale away. I found it oddly distracting as well :| One day I want to look at the mirror feeling this exact thing. Thank you for replying

    @kenlouise I have subbed! Probably need to visit that sub more often. Thank you for the reminder!

    @xuanang01 Ouch. I don't want to see my ribs :| My BMR is around 1450 - I've checked it through different calculator. I will definitely start looking into recomp.

    @lolaorchid I do want to look different. Now that I think about it... If I can see abs while seeing the exact same number as now, I'm okay with it. Probably slow and steady recomp is the best answer for now.

    @x9310 Wow, this is an eye opener as we're the same stats. Your range of intake sounds like a dream come true to me. During my 'loose' days, eating 1800 left me satisfied and happy. I just didn't lose anything, therefore I thought there is something to be 'fixed'. Apparently I just need to gain...

    @ianh I've looked at the Minnesota Starvation Experiments - very interesting. Also you got a point. A few years back, I did low carb (

    @micahissaved Thank you for the thorough respond. This thread has been a huge eye-opener for me. I'll definitely look into recomposition while keeping my training routine (because I LOVE training, and I want to see muscles!). Once again, thank you :)
