A 1300 Calorie Day

In response to a viewer who wants to weigh 130 lbs, here's an example of a 1300 calorie day. Remember, just add a '0' to your desired weight and you have a ballpark idea of how many calories you should be consuming to reach that weight. Exercising? You get to have a couple of glasses of wine! YAY!!

If someone is trying to loose over 100 pounds, aren't they supposed to slowly cut out calories until they are eating 1300 calories a day, so that they don't tend to binge? restricting many calories from day 1 can be very hard for someone that is used to eating way more than 1300 calories a day.

Another question: after a binge (or eating too much in one day). should you eat less the next day or stay at your daily recommended amount of calories?

@favoritesmoothies you need to do what's right for you. I've seen it work both ways. some people have no problem dropping to 1300 cal as long as they are made up of mostly protein and veggies...no starch/sugar etc...

You have to make friends with hunger. My very overweight clients are almost afraid of being hungry, when in actuality it's just a natural healthy indicator that your body needs good fuel in the appropriate quantity.

If you binge go back to 1300 the next day.

no fruit?



[MattieRobertsShow]

@lilaznkouk I eat fruit about once a week as a treat...it's so much sugar. If you have a great source of organic berries then, yes, a little daily fruit is fine. But for me it just makes my energy crash. To each her own, though. Honor your body above all else xo

all you people who eat 1200-1300 calories a day are wat i call anerexic its been proven that a human body needs 1600 calories a day to even function correctly with no exercise because thats what a human body naturally burns off in a day.

[MattieRobertsShow]

@SAMscouse1 Lucky you! If I ate 1600 cal a day I'd gain weight. At 118 lbs 1200 cal. is about perfect for me to healthfully maintain. We all have different body types and metabolisms and you must be blessed with an exceptionally fast one.

To lose weight you don't count calories. You eat less of the foods that allow for excessive insulin production namely refined carbs.

idk why i think u look like michelle pfieffer

eggs and bacon ... ok bacon, does it matter where the calories come from? if its 1300... does it matter WHAT KIND of 1300 cal your eating? to drop FAT. Im into fitness, not just skinny, so i want muscle and low body fat. So eating carbs for 1300 cal ofcourse is not optimal. But really, what are the rules for this? =)

if people are wondering why it doesnt work for some people is because you need more water then food this is my problem i eat over the regular calorie intake because i think im hungery but really i need to drink water and alot of it 8 bottles of water a day and i have maybe 2 sooo this is one of the big problems

@schnecki07 though it s kinda hard for me to eat this much calories..but it works. 2100 per day ...this number freaked me out at the beginning...but now i m all cool with it ...coz it works :D

[schnecki07]

@MattieRobertsShow that s funny. i had my eating habits checked and my dietician said i eat to little and not regularly...ate about 1200 cal a day...so, she calculated what my body needs and it s 2100 cal...since i eat this every day, i m losing weight. lost 30 pounds so far by eating this amount and doing sport (jump roping).....funny , isnt it? :D

@zyzll Make sure you're not eating a lot of sugary products but rather foods with protein and fiber. I find eating most of my carbs in the morning helps keep me energized during the day because it burns at my body's own pace. So if you eat whole wheat toast in the morning with maybe a tablespoon of peanut butter or some yogurt, you might feel better. Also, I'll eat a fiber bar during the day and it's only around 90 calories.

Skip the wine. There is NO nutrition in it whatsoever. Have more veggies or a bigger peice of fish.
