Hi there, i have been living on a low calorie diet for the past 6 months or so because i had an operation and couldnt do any sport which was a shock to the system. I thought if i dont eat anything i cant put weight on, what a stupid idea that was. I would eat around 800 cals a day and that would be it, and mainly at breakfast.

For the past month i have been trying to get some stability back and eating around 1600-1700 calories per day and exercising in the morning. I have actually gained fat because of the dramatic increase i think.

Basically should i go back to say around 1200 cals per day and raise it by 100 calories every week so that i dont get the excess weight gain back.

Please help

Many thanks

Gaz.
