How much should I really eat?
So, I just started on this site, and I really only joined so I can hopefully get some of my questions answered. I'm a 15 year old girl with a BMR of something around 1500-1700. I have some form of exercise every day, with heavy exercise at least 2 times a week.
The point is, I have been dieting for about 3 months and have lost about 40 pounds doing so by eating around 1000-1200 calories a day. I used to go for daily 1 mile jogs, but that had my weight loss plateauing, so now I try to change it up. But everyone tells me I need to eat more and that I'm damaging my metabolism and my muscle mass and that I'm too hard on myself, but I feel fine! Is my body lying to me?
