Nut up'd my calories/workout questions

I work out pretty much 5 days a week and weight train 2-3 times but im not lossing weight as fast as i would like, im actually losing very slowly if at all....so my nut. up'd my calories from 600 to 900 to see if that would help. So my questions is do i still need to take in 900 a day if i dont workout? sat and sun are usually family days and i dont want to take in that many but i dont want to keep jumping back and forth and really screw with my body.

I would ask ur nutritionist, it's really the only way to know for sure.

I did she doesnt really answer my questions she just goes to something else.

The minimum for a woman without surgery is 1200 so I think you'll benefit at 900 a day without exercise. You don't want your body to stay in starvation mode. That's my logic anyway. I'm no nutritionist.

I find that switching up my caloric intake has helped me with my weight loss. The poster that talks about the 1200 calorie minimum has obviously not had surgery yet. I find I vary also from 600-800 calories and sometimes when I eat more I lose more too. I think you will be fine eating less on weekends and more when you work out. :)

3 months post op and I specifically said 1200 for someone who hasn't had the surgery. I get in 900-1000 a day without exercise and have lost 51 pounds in 3 months but everyone is different. Just find what works for you.
