768 calories a day? Thats way too low, I have more than that for breakfast (though I probably need to eat a lot more than you do)

I'm 13, about 768 a day, and idk what that is, I'm new to fitness and health and stuff.

Eating 750 calories aday Is the reason your not losing weigh, you need to drink alot of water and exercise if you want to lose weight. Your body goes into like a hibernation mode when you don't eat the necessary amount of calories aday, trust me I tried losing weigh by not eating much and I gained weight somehow. I used to have a bad metabolism because I would never exercise and drink atleas 8 glasses of water aday.Now I can eat for days and not gain fat or weigh.(went from 195 too 175).

*calorie burning tip-drink a glass or 2 of water before you sleep, try to sleep in complete darkness and leave a fan on, make room as cool as possible.

I wen through a period of serious disordered eating, where I was eating lesss than 250 calories a day, and I lost 10 pounds in two weeks(honestly it happened), so that burned the idea into my mind that the only way to lose weigh is by starvation. I'm working on fixing it, but it'll take time.

I'm drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day btw.

Wow ****, sorry to tell my sap story.  

****, if that's the case then forget losing weight.

130 lbs for 5'3 is NOT bad at all. Health over appearance.

I'm around 125 lbs and almost 6 ft, I'M A ****ING TWIG GODDAMNIT.

I could care less about appearance, my endocrinologist (bone doc) said if I don't start losing weight and exercising more I'm going to get brittle bones.

**** I regret making this thread  

Oh, drink some more milk -.-

Work out if you want but if you focus too much on losing weight too much the idea will consume you and ruin your life.

Except she has been losing weight, shes lost 2 pounds in less than a week so far. What im worried about is the 768 calories, that is unhealthy, she should be eating at least twice that. 2 pounds a week is too much to lose in a week, it should be like 1 pound(although I just remember hearing this im not a doctor)

Ive never heard of this, did you actually count your calories or were you just guessing you didn't eat a lot? I've noticed people really just dont count calories and think "I regularly eat entire pizzas in one sitting and dont gain weight so my metabolism must be great"(really its just that pizza was one of the only things they ate that day and they really didnt consume more calories than normal) or "Ive ate nothing but a salad and some fries, why havent I lost weight?"(really its becuase they put a crapton of ranch and the salad plus fries was really 1200 calories)

I have the exact opposite problem.
I get too lazy to eat or cook. Like I don't have any motivation at all, I mean... I could be on the internet or drawing or whatever, ykno. But my doc said I'm underweight and my mom gets mad at me for not eating enough.

If you have any advice on how to gain weight, that'd be great, or how to like "get hungry". The only time I get hyped for food is for a sour bowl of salad with a lot of lemon juice and it's not helping me at all.
I can't really suggest you much besides getting lazy and sleeping whenever you can... sry.

Same here, what I did was start out my day with a shake that has about 700 calories of crap in it(almonds, milk, banana, ice cream, peanut butter) and 2 tangerines. Adds up to about 900 calories, I used to pretty much skip breakfast but so far ive stuck with it and have gained a few pounds.

I'm going to be eating more, I've only been eating this few calories for just this week so I should be okay as long as I start eating more. Which I will.
He** btw.

Im surprised how you have the energy to work out with so little food.

Oh and sorry I assumed you were a girl due to the avatar and the "starving". Weird to see a guy "starve" themselves to lose weight.

The only time I've ever eaten more then 1500 calories is when I'm on a bing streak. I've always been a picky eater, so I've never gotten much food in me otherwise.

Orange milk has more calcium and is far more healthier for bones ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is not true in anyway. If you "aren't eating much" and you gain weight, you're still eating too much. tracking weight loss/gain is as simple as macros in vs. out. If you eat 700 calories a day and you gain weight, your metabolism doesn't suck, your math does. If you want to lose weight you need to consume less calories, there is nothing else to it. It isn't water intake or exercise.


You are throwing in a bunch of information that does have correlation to health and weight loss, but it isn't causation. Yes you should drink lots of water (tbh only water), and exercise but that's true even if you are trying to gain weight.
