Is 1200 calories to low for an 18 year old?

[Grey]

I've been dieting since July but it wasn't consistent so I'd say September is when I got it all down. I've been eating about or around 1200-1300 a day a bumping it up to 1500 on Saturdays so I could cheat with ice cream. I started at 280 and now I'm 244 with my goal weight being 160-180. Am I stunting any potential growth which I probably don't have if I countinue to eat this low?

It's really over for Colvin, he should have knew it was over for him when he said he was autistic or his eyes arent even symmetrical.

Yeah, that's all I fucking do really. I just game, browse this site and do college work

 

[RealSurgerymax]

too*

and short term, no. I think it’s on the extreme end though. The biggest concern with 1200 calories is it can lead to giving up and binging.

Yes

 

[SpiritAnimal]

Yup, you're supposed to eat 2500 to 3000 depending on how active you are.

Very low tbh. Im assuming youre not like 5'4 or something? You should eat at least around 1600-1800 if you want to cut with a good amount of protein, healthy fats and carbs. 3 small sized meals a day is better, with mainly healthy things. example of things you should include in your diet are like oatmeal, fruits and veggies, some protein source (if vegan tofu or pea protein, if not salmon and lean chicken breast or turkey)

You should change something tbh. Do 30 min of cardio its just good for your heart and body in the long run can help you lose weight.

Veggies are key, so much volume for very little calories. Plus makes you feel way better

On 1800 calories rn with lifting & cardio and I'm only suffering a little bit

Yep I meal prep with chicken breasts,broccoli,brown rice and egg whites. I'll try doing cardio I guess since I'm mostly free after doing my school work

absolute bullshit. no one in the real world counts calories. the guys in best shape either eat like shit or dont eat at all. only stupid unathletic gym people take the calorie/number things too serioisly

 

[Cali Yuga]

not if youre a fat pig

if i was gonna eat 1200 a day id just do 2400 calories one day, fast the next and repeat instead so i could get some decent filling meals in

Lazy cope, if you wanna look anything above average you're gonna have to monitor what you eat, ofc there's people with blessed genes that will stay lean no matter what though

Lol u aint getting enough nutrients and u fucked ur metabolism if u eat 1200 calories and not under at most 10% bf. Ur body adapted and if u aint losing weight u need to reset ur metabolism lol

 

[Grey]

Yeee I’m still losing weight I’ll bump it up and exercise more I guess

From 15 to 19-20 its good to be on a really slight surplus or normo calorie diet

[currytax]

Auschwitzmaxxing i see, you'd have to be sleeping all day to get by 1200 calories, just go nuts playing sports burning calories and eat 3000 cal a day theory

 

[ShineBright]

Keep in mind you can only Auschwitzmax if you have godly facial bones and good height/frame
