I have heard many times before in my pre-band diet life that you shouldn't eat under 1200 calories a day because it throws your body into "starvation" mode and you start storing all your calories. Now, I've seen a lot people on here eating quite a bit less, and most days I eat a lot less. However, I haven't really lost weight in the past few weeks. Should I be trying to get in more calories? I get all my protein in.

Are you tracking your calories?

I really don't count calories. I just try to get the required amount of protein and stick to portion sizes. I use the 3 meals and 2 snacks plan trying to eat about every 3-4 hours. Even when I eat bad foods I still make sure to eat the portion size of about 1/2 cup.

I'm not tracking calories but maybe I will after the Band is in.

I am tracking calories basically as a side effect from tracking my protein. I'm usually around 800 calories, high days may be around 1000. I feel pretty satisfied most of the time and usually I'm not tempted to eat morr. I wasn't too concerned about what I was taking in until I noticed I wasn't losing weight.
