I typically eat 800 calories less than what was calculated for me to reach my goal. Do I HAVE to eat more? For instance, Do I HAVE to eat ALL of the fat? Isn't it better to eat less fat? Please send me your thoughts. Thanks a bunch! Robin

You need to keep the metabolism high to burn fat so you need to eat. Don't be afraid of eating enough fat. Be afraid of simple carbs instead....... -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Just do long as it isn't enormous. I believe on here it says to stay within 10% -------------- Lisa Just laugh about it....

What I'm afraid of is that when I put in my weight, height and goal (to lose 20 lbs.), I was given an expected calorie intake of 1900 cals per day. Isn't that high? I only weight 140. I'm pretty small. ============ Quoting from Philia2: What are your goals? (please fill in your profile). Are you looking for muscle mass or fat loss?
