Calories Per Day Vs Exercise

[leanora27801 315]

Hi everyone, i have been exercising 6 days a week and 2 hours a day. Two weeks ago i ate 800-900 calories per day and lost 7lbs, then last week i eat about 500-600 per day and only lost 3lbs. My question is how many calories is everyone eating, how much exercise are you doing, and can you see a difference in your weight lose per week?

I exercise about the same, 6 days a week and really try to keep my calories around 900-1000 per day. Honestly with all of the exercise we are still not taking in enough calories but it is hard. I tried to supplement this by eating a bit more lean beef that is higher in calories than turkey or chicken. Your weight loss with increase if you increase your calories to about 1000-1200 per day. I also increased my Protein to about 120 grams per day. The only way for me to do this was to supplement with 2 Protein shakes - one in the morning and one post workout. The Protein has really helped with muscle recovery.

I'm at at ~1000 calories per day, and alternate exercising between 90 and 120 minutes per day, six days each week. I ride a bike each day, then add 30 minutes of strength training three days a week. I'm consuming >100g Protein and <100g carbs. I'm two weeks post-op and need to increase calories and protein to avoid burning lean muscle, but I just moved off liquid today so one step at a time.
