I’m trying to lose weight and was told that hwo I eat about 800-1000 calories a day is too low and lowers my metobolism which will prevent weight loss. I’ve looked up some meal plans and can’t really afford stuff like chicken breast, steak, or salmon every week. So that is why I’m wondering how I can eat 1500 calories a day. Are there some alternatives that I can do?

Also I’d like to ask, say I exercise and burn say 500 calories would I have to eat those calories back or no? I ask cuz I’ve been told yes and told no.

    Liquid sugar is the worst, IMHO.

    Things like soda, fruit juices, energy drinks,etc are way too easy to consume without realising just how much.

    It’s very easy to consume ¼ of a pound of sugar a day in just a few drinks.

    Drink water.

      Yep water and matcha are my go tos for drinks.

      And yeah I agree about the liquid sugars def considering trying to make natural juices at least
