Answers:
post up your height, weight, age, sex and activity level.
::::
your BMR is around 2200 calories per day. this is to sustain your weight. to lose 1lb of fat per week you need to drop 500 calories.
your body can lose no more than 2 lbs of fat per week. any more weight loss than that is muscle and water.
your calorie intake is too low. you actually won't lose much weight when your calorie intake is too low as your body will hold onto whatever you put into it, slowing your metabolism.
you should aim for around 1700 calories per day (at the lowest 1500). and spread the meals over the day so that you're eating 5-6 times. this will increase your metabolism.
