Hmmmm..... I have to jump in on this thread as a newbie to all of this because we are throwing numbers around without respect to a person's size it seems. I am weighing in at a whopping 135 pounds so my BMR is only in the 1400 calorie a day range. If I work out (I do mostly cardio right now) for 5 hours a week I am burning only 2400 cal a week. If I eat my 1400 cals a day only then at the end of the week I have a 2400 deficit which equals less than one pound of weight loss right?
So in the original post it was mentioned that 1400 cal a day was too low. Is it really for the type of workout and size that I do?
