Now that Natrushka has told me I need to be eating more calories, and I have also done research on these boards and else where, I know I need to up them definatly. Im doing it sorta slowly, maybe 100 more cal a day for a few days. I was at 1240 cal. a day. I have been only eating 1240 cal. a day for around 18 days. I weigh 120 and am 5'6". My basal thing is 1411 calories. Have I really messed my metabolism up for good? Whats going on inside my body and how do I fix what I've done the past 18 or so days? I feel so guilty eating MORE than 1240. I guess I just had it set in my mind I was only to have that amount. Now that I've UPPED my calories, my carbs are down to 15 or so TOTAL carbs a day. Thanks so much for all the help
