Calories?!

I have tried every diet in the book, and I have come across a lot of people saying more calories out than in is the best way to lose weight.

So I have decided to have a calorie restricted diet. Using a calorie calculator, it said I need to limit myself to 2300 calories a day for extreme weight loss. I am limiting that even more to 1,500 calories a day.

I have all my snacks portioned out, and all my meals planned and calories calculated, and I am having trouble eating 1500 calories! It is 5:30 PM and I have only eaten 925 calories today, and already ate 3 snacks, breakfast lunch and dinner! I dont feel hungry at all, and Im wondering if that is normal, or if I should eat more to get to the 1500 calories so im not starving my body...

PLEASE HELP, I have no idea what Im doing.

You need at leaste 1200. It's all a learning process. I am alloted like 1539 I think and usually eat 1200 to 1400.

For me to maintain my weight (136), I need to eat 2287 calories a day.
Are you sure you need 2300 for extreme weight loss? That seems a bit much.

yeah, according to my calorie calculator it says 2300 for weight loss! I thought that was high too.

    Can't wait to burn my pumpkin spice candle!  National Coffee Day is coming up on the 29th so I hope to score up on a free coffee.
