Are you a guy or a girl? Also no healthy fats

[HannibalK1ng]

im 19 male. Like it just seems like a really low number to eat, but thats all i eat.

I used to be alot bigger but change of lifestyle and diet has made me eat really clean.

[S0VERE1GN]

drink more water? also change up your workout. do sprints, nobody ever does those. go climb trees for 3 hours, do random stuff. it'll shock your body and get the metabolism going. at least that's what i've seen from my experience. but what do i know?

[Poetique]

1000 cals is probably why you aren't losing weight... I was eating sub-1000 cals at one point and losing weight, but I have the muscle mass & excess weight to do such a thing. Although it came with frequent headaches and excessive laziness (excluding the limited amount of working out I was able to do)

Increase to the 1500-1800 range, and see if you can get some results.

Also, working out 5 days/week in that cal range is probably counter-productive. No one's body could possibly recover properly from 5 days of good workouts on 1000 cals...

And as mentioned previously, keep water intake in check. I recommend at least .5 oz per lb of bodyweight personally...

[HannibalK1ng]

yea maybe i can drink more water, i was thinkig of doing some boxing so that might change my body a bit

[barkadark]

When you are plateauing like that, especially gym 5 days a week, sometimes eating more solves the problem, and not eating less. Even though that seems backwards it tends to be the case, happened on biggest loser also. ((Pretty much what Poetique said))

[SUPERM4N]

You should be losing weight at 1000 calories per day regardless, are sure you are measuring your portions correctly?

[HannibalK1ng]

yea there might be a few extra things here and there that i might be missing when doing the calories but still not enough to make it up to 1500ish.

would i be better off to add a protein shake /w peanut butter or some CC before bed would that be good?

Thanks for all the comments as well guys

Something looks wrong with your numbers. What bread are you eating that is only 61 calories per slice? Also, turkey breast has 44 calories per ounce. You're eating two half-ounce slices of turkey?? (seems ridiculously small) And no condiments or cheese on that sandwich?

Do you drink alcohol, soda, etc. that you are counting?

[HannibalK1ng]

yea the bread is wholewheat bread and usally have like 2 slices of turkey and no dont drink anything like that.

i might go back and recount my calories...
but would the protein shake or cc before bed be good for me even on a cut??

Sure, but main thing is to calculate your calories accurately, so we can see where you're going wrong.

[Shr3dJunki3]

If you were really eating 1000 calories~ youd be losing weight, I really think you counted wrong.

[ivoryce]

I'd try increasing your cals by 100 every couple days till u hit maybe 1600 kcal, then stick with that for a week and see what the results are... if u dont lose weight or gain weight, drop by 100 for a week, continue doing this until u see results. Also, as another poster mentioned, u aren't getting healthy fats in.... You absolutely need fat for your brain and nervous system to function... if you don't, you'll eventually have zero energy, irritability, cardiovascular problems and eventually develop neurological effects like delayed mental processing.... depression....

Lol, I feel special since you said that. The bread I was eating was 80 cals for two slices.

how lean are you already? There's no way in hell that someone of your size could be CONSISTENTLY taking in 1000 calories and not be losing fat. If you are already fairly lean [just a tiny bit of fat around the stomach] then your fat loss won't show so much on the scale. Maybe you can use calipers.... or take pictures.. pictures are the best IMO.

OR it could be that your measurements are off and you're taking in way more than you think.

[Carpathia]

this is always the typical response
if you were eating 1000 cals a day every day on a consistent basis i will guarantee you that you will lose weight

Haha, good post. I'm pretty certain what the OP posted above isn't what he eats EVERY single day.

[Carpathia]

Haha, good post. I'm pretty certain what the OP posted above isn't what he eats EVERY single day.

i also bet he did that menu for about 3 or 4 days and didnt lose 5lbs so he thinks its impossible for his body to lose fat

[th3pwn3r]

Haha, probably not even that long. The scale should have at least fluctuated a bit from a quick drop of intake. I'm glad I don't have his problem when consuming only 1,000 calories.

1000 cals a day for a 152lb male?

lolwat?

I'm losing fat @2200 cals and we're the same weight

[Shr3dJunki3]

Umm, I'm a dude, almost the same height and weight about, I'm down to 1000 cals to cut, just shows how everyones different.

That's great. Too bad nobody else in the world has your body. I wish I lost fat at 2200 calories per day.

Yep, everyone needs to figure out what kind of intake to be on to lose the stupid, ugly fat.

obvious troll is obvious.

[barkadark]

I use a foodscale to measure my food, because trying to stuff it into a cup isnt nearly as accurate.

[supy]

1000 Cals = starvation mode at 152 #s. You need to eat fat to lose fat
your EFAs are probably nonexistent . Add some EFAs

You're obviously wrong, he's obviously not a troll. L2R.

This is highly recommended as well. Also actual measuring spoons from a teaspoon to 1/4 cup. Youd be surprised what a tablespoon of peanut butter really looks like

Wrong. How many Ethiopians do you think eat fat? Did Christian Bale eat lots of fat when getting down to 120 pounds for The Machinist?

you have to remember that losing weight healthily is a long term goal. If you keep your calorie count small, you will lose weight over time. Keep working out, but also add in some more cardio which will accelerate your weight loss. Also, as a general tip, 3500 calories = 1lb of body fat. That means your net total of calories per must be negative 3500 to lose 1lb!! and even one day of not sticking to your diet could screw up your entire week!
