I only eat about 1,500 a day and am wondering if that is too low and is the reason why I'm not losing weight as fast (3 pounds a month). I weigh 238, but I am very active, doing about 9 hours of very intense cardio a week (spinning, running, yoga, power walking) ...I don't know, I'm just having a hard time believing I'm supposed to be eating THAT much, that seems like and endless amount of food!! Help
Maybe try bumping up it up to 2000 calories for a couple of weeks and see if you lose more. If you're working out that much, you're going to need more calories. From experience, when I actually ate more healthy calories and worked out, I lost the best. HTH!
