should I eat more

[katwomantexas 2]

I am doing 3 very fast cardio classes a week.One hour each. On these days should I be eating more than my 1200 calorie diet. I have been stuck at 180 for 3 weeks.

Keep up with what you're eating and how many calories you are burning when exercising. I am doing something similar to what you are, and a nutritionist and the PA both told me to eat more Protein, but to be careful to keep up with everything I eatl According to them, you might not be getting enough calories when you exercise hard, and your body starts going after the protein in it.

It does seem to get harder to budge the scale as you get close to a normal weight. I wouldnt go past 1200 but I have never counted mine. I am lazy to do more than walk my fat dog but I doubt I eat more than 800-900 every day and I continue to lose. I hit normal BMI (145) about a month ago and have since lost 3 lbs. I'll just see where i end up but I am happy here. Good luck, it will eventually start coming off again!

I dont think so personally. Three weeks isnt really a long plateau an youre not that heavy. But try it and see- if it works then great. I run and pretty hard at that, and do spin classes and i know when ive not eaten enough because i get really BA carb cravings and spend a few days binging on them till i feel rplenished. I do need more than 1200 a day but im maintaining, not trying to lose.
