NOT EATING ENOUGH QUESTION?????
I am having a little problem of eating the amount of calories that I need to eat, from what I have been told. Something about 10-12% (1900-2280 calories of my weight.........should be the amount of calories I should be eating. There are more days than not that I am so full, I just can't get past maybe 1500 calories.
My question is: Where is this information coming from about us having to eat the 10-12% of our body weight? Is it the Protein Power Plan? I did Atkins about 2 yrs. ago and I never remember that in his book, but I might be wrong. I know I didn't follow that and yet, I did lose weight. I don't like this having to worry about eating more calories than I feel like eating. However, I am on my last day of Induction, and I have lost 8 pounds, but I keep getting an extra 2 pounds on the scales ..........like I am gaining about every 3 days! Could this be the problem that I am not eating enough calories? Does the Atkins program demand that 10-12% or your body weight?
I will certainly appreciated any help with this situation about having to eat a certain amount of calories????????
Thanking Ya'll in Advance,
