ive been eating about a cup of food each meal. last night i ate one small porkchop 1/3 a cup of veg and 1/4 a cup of potato. is this ok? it did fill me up for about 3 hours. i know im suppose to eat 1/2 a cup but im not there yet. i think that a cup isnt bad though until i get another fill.

ps i noticed that when i eat less like 800-1000 calories i dont lose but when i eat around 1100-1200 calories i start to lose. its hard to say what is working for sure.

you're doing great! do what is giving you the best result. keep up the great work!!!

If i eat less than 1000 cals a day i will not loose. my doc says no less than 1000 a day and 1200 is ideal if your working out 4 days a week .

I dont count cals anymore , unless i stop loosing and i do that mainly to make sure im eating ENOUGH .

I think if your loosing its fine , if your not evalute the calories and maybe you need to either cut back or increase it a bit ?

Yes, 1 cup of food is quite normal at your stage. You will get to 1/2 cup of food when you hit the right restriction level.

thanks, i was worried because i went 9 days without anything now im starting to lose. i did cheat today and had some ice cream but overall i am doing pretty well. i just dont want to get into the habit of cheating all of the time

I could eat that quite easily. It sounds fine to me.
