That's all well good, but how many calories is all that?

[SourcesScott]

I use that myfitnesspal app for my iPhone and it says it's only 1275 calories but I feel like I should eat more. I was eating around 1500 a day but I wasn't losing weight so I lowered it

For how long did you eat 1500?

6'3", 270 lbs + 1500 calories a day and not losing weight is physiologically impossible, never mind even lower.

Read the stickies at the top of this page. Read them again. Then read them again. A fourth time wouldn't do no harm either.

There's no way you're eating that little and not losing weight, that's just fact, I'm sorry. I did help you. Read the stickies. Post if you have any questions.

If that's all you ate, you will definitely lose weight. Just give yourself enough time. I'd say around 2 weeks.

Huge calorie restriction isn't as terrible as a lot of people say. More than likely, you have a lot of fat to lose and muscle loss isn't a huge issue. It is going to be more beneficial to lose 30lbs in the first month than to lose 8lbs of pure fat. (If your BF is high, it's going to be mostly fat either way) I did 1800kcal/day when I started losing weight for the first 4 months.

I started off about 2 months ago at age 20, 6'1, and 315 lbs. Now im down to 265. I was eating around 3000 bad calories a day. I cut it down to 1000 a day over the span of a couple weeks. Just do what works for you and make sure u get your cardio in.

1000 per day might be too low. You're guaranteed to lose weight, yes. But its going to slow down your metabolism. And you're just going to hit a plateau sooner. I've been this route before, I can promise you its not worth it. Like you said though, different things work for different people. I was about 270lbs a few years back, and ate about 1000 calories per day. I went down to about 210lbs. After eating properly and exercising, it all came back as fat, and very little muscle. I'm back in the 250's now, this time on 2400 calories, cutting VERY slowly.

Are you counting everything? Drinks, sauces, etc. Are you measuring your food correctly.

Let me answer for you... no you're not.

I'm 130lbs lighter than you, and i'm losing weight on 1800 cals a day.

You should only ever cut your calories by about 500 under maintenance else your metabolism slows down and your body will go into starvation mode.

You need to eat more, but do more exercise.

Time to get out the food scale and measuring cups... Also if you track your cals religously for 3-4 weeks and the scale hasn't moved at 1500 cals you should go see a doctor about a possible issue.
