My daily calorie plan is actually around 1,200. I give myself a little flexibility on that number, but yesterday I consumed a total of 2,300 calories. I went out for happy hour and it turned out to be an "extended" happy hour.
When I tried eating 1,800 to 2,000 calories, the scale DID NOT BUDGE and I got overly frusterated and un-motivated....so I am pretty sure that's too many calories for me.
I have read plenty of articles saying that Intermittent Fasting is a great way to reduce calories, and I have tried it on a number of occasions. I believe I read that your body does not go into starvation mode until after 3 days of not consuming anything at all, and I figured if I'll be eating dinner I would be fine...

You likely should be eating close to 2000 calories a day, not over 3 days!
How many calories do you give yourself each week...and what have you eaten during the rest of the week to only have 2000 calories left for 3 days??!
