Question about calories...?!


Question: Okay, what if someone eats like 200 calories a day, then jumps for a short time to like 500 to 700 calories...obviously that person would gain weight right? Since they are consuming more calories (assuming exercise stays the same). But at the same time, thats still not enough calories to maintain the weight she is at...so what happens? Does she gain at first and then slowly start to lose weight again?

The concept is that you must intake MORE calories than you burn in a day for weight gain to occur. EVERYONE burns more than 500 - 700 calories in a day, so weight loss would still occur. It's virtually impossible to sustain a 200 calorie/day consumption and even a 500 - 700 calorie/day consumption for very long without physical side effects anyway.

wow- go back to math class. 500 is more than 200.

You'll get sick and ultimatily die of anorexia.

Lose weight the real way -- exercise.
Don't be lazy and anorexic.

Talking from experience,
It is never the way to go.

She keeps losing weight when she goes up to 700 calories. That is what's known as a starvation diet. She's going to still be burning more than 700 calories a day and her body will continue to draw on her reserves until they are gone and she dies. The minimum her metabolism could run at is probably around 1200 calories per day.

Truely you have a dizzying intollect.

200 calories a day??? are you insane?? thats like, the Gandhi diet...eat around 1500-1700 and then ask weight based questions...if you don't feed your muscles, then you won't have the energy to exersize and then your body shuts down, turning all available muscle into fat and consuming IT....

Hi, R, Here are the facts. In order to MAINTAIN your weight, you eat your weight X15. So if you weigh 120 pounds, you will maintain that weight by eating 120X15=1800 calories a day, assuming you're doing a normal amount of exercise. There are 3500 calories in a pound.

Now get out your calculator, and if you have any questions, E-Mail me. Oh...btw, it takes any extra calories 48 hours to turn to fat. :)

i think you mean 2000 calories not 200. but you also burn calories in a regular day i think its most women burn like 1,500 calories a day well depending on your weight of course!. theres some kinda equation but i dont really know what it is.
