Is 1300 Calories Per Day Too Low For A 1454 Bmr

Is 1300 calories per day too much for me to lose weight?

In my opinion, you shouldn’t be dieting this hard, you are still in your 20s so your body needs to have a good intake of food. But if you were to diet, I would definitely recommend you to follow the steps bellow.First step, setting you goal: Lose weight, gain weight, maintain weight.Step two, how are you going to reach your objective? Dieting solely or adding physical exercise?Third step, according to how you decided to reach your goal, use an online calculator ta calculate what calorie intake you should have per day. I use this one Calorie Calculator.Third and a half step, if you really want to be very rigurous about the diet, you should calculate your macros per day (protein, carbs, fats) it will take you a while but once you get used to it, it gets much easier.Fourth step, be creative, start with something simple, like 3 meals + 2 snacks and change it, and change it, and change it until it fits you and your program best.No doctor or nutritionist will ever be able to give you a better diet than the one you craft yourself. Try to stay in a calorie deficit but not so big! Results will come over time!This is my daily menu of 2400/2500 caloriesBreakfast (6 am)Eggs, ham, cheese, tomatoesSnack (10 am)Fruit smoothieLunch (12:30 pm)SoupChicken meat/ beef meat with vegetablesSnack no 2 (3:30 pm)2.2% yogurt + nuts (almonds, cashew, walnuts)Dinner (6:30 pm)Fish + vegetables orPasta with vegetable sauce orBrown rice with meatGood luck!

Can I lose weight by eating 1,300 calories a day?

Yes, but you’ll have a harder time than eating 1600cals. (Assuming you are a 70kg, sedentary person; if you are a 150cm 50kg person, you are still in the good range with 1300, even if it’s for a hair).What? How can that be?Because with 1300–1200, you’ll put your body eventually in starvation mode. And in starvation mode, well, your body consume much less energy. Is a save mode. It makes you less energetic, moodier, lowers your defenses and crush your libido. All that are system shutting down.The secret to losing fat is eating 500cals less than your maintenance calories. That is around 1600 cals for a standard person (70Kg sedentary).That puts you in a deficit good enough to lose fat, but no strong enough to raise metabolic elasticity (starvation mode).Go to low in the caloric intake, and your body is going agaisnt you, because you are lowering your metabolism… and your losing of weight will be always relative to your metabolism. The greater ΔVo is, most weight will you lose, that is… the greater your total volume of Oxygen breathed in a given time, the greater weight you’ll lose.Because you lose weight brething. Each 02 molecule you inhale will be exhaled as one molecule of CO2. That carbon atom is the weight you lose.80% of weight loss is through the breath. Surprise!That’s why you also need exercise: to enhance your breathing rate (not only for the duration, but your metabolic base rate) and lose weight faster.And eating 1300 cals (except if you are a 50kg-150cm kind of guy) will slow your metabolism, your breath, and as such, by basic conservation of mass, your weight loss.Weight loss is a compromise between raise your metabolic level and lower your calorie input. Going to extremes in caloric intake never, ever, works.

If I ate an excess of 500 calories a day, would I continue to gain 1 pound per week for the rest of my life? Or are there other metabolic factors?

Several but none as important as your misunderstanding of nutrition.Almost every human eats substantially more than 500 calories per day. Indeed NEEDS to eat substantially more just to stay alive.Typically a human diet of an average person might consist of 2000 to 2500 calories per day. NEEDS to consist of that much to stay alive, support their daily activities and maintain their weight. Each person has their own number based on their size, age, gender, activity level etc.If an individual deviates from his number by 500 calories per day for a sequence of days, they will deviate from their current weight by about one pound per week. Increasing consumption causes increase in weight while decrease in consumption causes decrease in weight.Now to your question. Since increase in consumption causes increases in weight AND increases in weight causes a change in the special ‘balance’ number that each individual has, the increasing weight will force a a decline in the change effect of the extra consumption and the individual will eventually find the increased consumption no longer causes as much effect. Eventually the extra 500 calories no longer cause any change. The person has gotten fat and gets no fatter at that new balance number.In brief, You eat too much, you add weight which requires you to eat more to maintain that weight. If you continue to eat too much, you continue to add weight which requires you to eat more just to maintain and even more to add weight which in turn would add even more weight and around it goes with the typical person getting fatter with age. Adding about 1 pound for each decade of life.BTW, it doesn’t require an extra 500 calories per day to do this. Less than 100 calories per day will do a fine job.
