Lately I've been having 3-4 small meals a day, ranging from 400-600 a piece. The 600 is on days I only have 3, so each day it comes to a total of about 1600-2000 calories. Except on one day a week where I get about 2500, calorie cycling and all.
Is this too little for my current weight? Will it end up affecting my metabolism?

How much weight have you been losing per week on this calorie plan?

About 3

I started out at 340 and my personal trainer put me on 1800 calories a day. Most days I'm pretty close on target, never going under 1600 and rarely ever going over 1800. For five months I lost an average of 3.6 pounds per week. The past month it has slowed down slightly, but I'm still losing. From the little details you gave us I think you are doing ok. I wouldn't recommend going under 1600. You also want to be sure that you are eating a healthy balance of those calories. I eat lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, yogurt, cottage cheese, healthy fats. As much as possible I avoid processed food. I drink water, crystal light, green tea and the occasional black tea. I mostly avoid caffeine. I should also mention that I do exercise 7 days a week, 3 of those days involve strength training.

Looks like you are off to a good start. This is a great place for support, encouragement and information! It's a good part of a healthy lifestyle!

Given what you've said, it sounds good!!

Keep up the good work!!

Thank you both! I thought it was a good place to start, but I read a few other threads and people were suggesting starting at 2500 for people that weighed about 330, so I wasn't sure what to think.

AngelsEulogy -- RN BSN's question was a good one to help us. At your weight 3 pounds a week is fine (though you may not stay at that rate!) Everyone's different, so it requires experimentation!

Oh, dear.
I spaced out and thought two of the posts were from the same person.
Thank you all so much****

I think it should be just fine for you.
