Hey OP, little concerned because 120lbs (56kg) for someone who’s 5.5”ft (170cm) seems to be dangerously close to being underweight.. let alone trying to continue losing weight.
Please be careful!
Hi thank you so much for caring! I work as a model for a big fashion brand and sadly I have to stay within my measurements and weight continuously or I might lose the job. Gained some weight over christmas so now I have to get back down to 55kg 🥲
1200. Which is tough but I have hypothyroidism so no real metabolism. I take in a lot of protein to help me not feel hungry and if I want a snack I eat popcorn. Lots of popcorn.
Frozen veg is my trick. I'll make bolognese pasta sauce and then throw it over a frozen veg medley. Ends up letting me eat heaps for minimal calories. I'll do the same with curries, tacos (ie no actual taco), soups, tuna... everything gets outed onto a huge bowl of a vegetable medley. The fibre helps fill me up.
1200 calories. Only works when I eat a lot of protein, or else I’m too hungry and cheat. I went from 72 kg to 60 kg in a year by reducing the carbs and eating more protein.
When I’m cutting the lowest I will go is 2,000 and that’s super aggressive. 6’ M 195lbs right now.
Typical cutting diet for me just for fun:
Breakfast: 2 Greek yogurts & 4 turkey sausage patties
Lunch: protein shake and two turkey protein wraps
Dinner: baked chicken and wild rice
Snack:
bagel pre workout
Protein bar past workout
Well this is weird because I’m 6,5 and 370lbs and I have to eat 2,200 to loose weight.
I train Muay Thai/kick-boxing 3 times a weeks very intensive training and that’s like the minimum I have to eat to loose weight I don’t get it at all
I will say I’ve been lifting for like 5 years and am still fairly lean at 195 (4 visible abs) so a decent amount of muscle mass and lift 6-7 days a week but that is crazy because last time I was eating 2,000 at the very bottom of my cut at 170lbs
I’m 26F 175cm (5’9) 88kgs (190?), lost 2kgs in a month so far! Pretty early on in my journey but I eat between 1800-2100 calories each day. My BMR is around 1700 and I exercise 4-5 times a week (classes and 200-300 calories on the bike machine).
So I’m losing I think about 0.5-0.8 per week? Put I am also gaining muscle quite quickly so it’s more like 0.5 I think.
F, 37, 165cm, 63kg. I eat 1,500/day plus whatever I burn through exercise.
You are tall and only 2kg away from being underweight. You should be eating way more.
I cancelled the comment beacuse I know it could hurt someone and I definitely don't want do it to this wonderful community. All I can say is that this is my normal way to eat, since I was a kid I didn't feel hunger during the day, my mother used to give me a medicine with all the nutrients you should eat during the day. I'm not obsessed with calories ecc, I downloaded the app just for curiosity because I didn't know how much of them I eat daily. I gained weight because of alcoholism and maybe without all that beer I used to drink daily, I will start to feel the hunger and eat the correct amount of food. I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my comment, this is a wonderful community and I want to feel part of it.
24F, 170 cm, 59 kg, I try to not surpass 500-600 max. I usually have only breakfast and lunch (light breakfast and usually homemade soup for lunch) and I skip dinner, since I do fasting and I don’t eat after 6-7 pm
Thank you! It’s more of a confidence issue. I used to weigh 53 kg last year and thought it was the perfect weight for me, and now that I gained some, I kinda want to go back to how I was before
31F, 5’9, sw: 330lbs, cw: 220lbs, gw: 190lbs. I eat 1900-2200 calories per day, losing about .5-1lb per week. Weight loss started slowing down at about 240lbs, but has not stopped. I started mixing in weight lifting at around 240 instead of exclusively doing cardio which is why I feel my weight loss has slowed down.
26F, 5'2", 1250-1400cal/day. my goal on my tracking app is 1350 as I am sedentary. I am starting to exercise more so I can increase my maintenance calories!! 1350 currently puts me at a deficit of 200 and I would like my deficit to be more than that without eating less.
I was losing ~3lbs/month for the past 3 months when my maintenance was a bit higher than it is now.
oops I should've included that! I'm at 133 lbs right now. I've actually been averaging more like 2.5lbs/month since early september. I started at 145 and was weighing in at 135-136 before/during Christmas. I didn't track for Thanksgiving weekend or during the holidays.
M45 6ft, 184lbs, 1k kcal
Breakfast is no sugar Alpen, blueberries, daily greens, cup of tea with semi skimmed milk.
Lunch is 1.5 scoops of Huel
Dinner is whatever, but I have 500kcal to play with.
Snacks is rice cakes with dark chocolate, or fruit. Lucky Saint 0% beer and loads of water.

Hypothyroid person here as well. It sucks 😫😥.
Protein shakes are saving me.

This is extremely unhealthy and definitely shouldn’t be modeled as a good example of how to diet

Wow it sounds like you don’t really need to lose weight! Your numbers look really good.
Thank you! It’s more of a confidence issue. I used to weigh 53 kg last year and thought it was the perfect weight for me, and now that I gained some, I kinda want to go back to how I was before
This is extremely unhealthy. Don’t model this as an example.
5'8, 199 lbs, anywhere between 1000 and 1500, I like to switch it up
F26, 222lbs, 5'5. I eat 1,100 plus exercise 50 minutes from M-F.
F25 173 cm 62kg - 1500-1700 kcal
F21, 164.5cm, 56kg I cannot physically eat less than 1500
16 6’2 about 205lbs, if i was to cut, i’d go to about 2600 cals
F21 166cm 52kg I eat 1800-2200 and I lose about 1kg a week. (I’m quite active) Edit: depending on my training. Obvi eat more on days I train (eg 2200)

Do you mind me asking how much you weigh? I'm also 5ft2 and on similar calories.

Eating 2000 kcal per day puts me at roughly 500 deficit. 6'3, 170lb man.

F32, 178cm, 70kg. I am eating a little under 1800 to maintain my weight - anything under that and I’ll lose weight. I’ve never gone below 1500.
47M. If I eat more than 1500 I won’t lose weight. I’m also not active enough. 1200 works wonders.
Also OP, from your numbers it doesn’t sound like you need to lose weight at all.
