I started eating 700-850 calories per day. I found myself feeling a little bit less energetic than i was used to. I now just try to keep it under 1,000 calories per day. I found myself losing a little faster when i was closer to 850-900 calories/day (might not be the same for everyone). Hope this helps! :D

Thank you :-) yeah I have been feeling tired...maybe that's the problem. I appreciate your advice :-)

Low range diets <1000 cals should really be for those not working out. I eat in the 800-900 range because I do not workout and need to compensate w/ cals. However, if you are active you may just need a 100-300 cal boost depending on your activity level

I do quite a heavy workout every day so I try to stay around 1000 since I burn 900+ in my workout. My doctor suggest between 1000 and 1200 a day.

Do you mind me asking what your workout routine consist of?

I do zumba 5 days a week, plus a spinning class 3 days and 1 hour weight training 4 days and I swim for an hour on the days I do not do weights. I spend about 3 & 1/2 hours working out everyday. They want me to cut back but it's hard I have been doing this for nearly 3 years now. I do not want to gain back any weight that is why I got banded after losing 176 pounds. I just can't do that to my body. I do work with a trainer twice a week he keeps me on my toes!
