If you get less than 1,200 calories (and even that is pushing it) your body goes into starvation mode and you store fat! Search "how many calories do I need" on google, take a test, eat the amount it tells you and do 30 minutes of exercise a day.

If you don't get atleast 1,100 calories a day your body goes into starvation mode and your metabolism slows down causing you to gain weight

thanks for the info, but I hope you guys know I'm eating what I need. I'm not like starving or anything. Or trying to lose weight. It was purely just because. But thankyou (:

Sometimes a lack of calories can contribute to weight gain. The body isn't receiving enough fuel/nutrients so it holds onto whatever it has already a d delays its breakdown. Also I thought the average calorie consumption for young people was only 1300 I guess it also kind of depends on the types of foods you eat. Like you could eat 3000 calories of vegetables and have no weight gain. But this is just general, I don't know your situation, exercise patterns, BMR etc.

I don't think you're reading labels right. Calories go by servings, a "serving" on a chip could only be 5 chips. Maybe relook? Girls shouldn't eat no more then 1,2000 calories a day, it's unhealthy.

#1 I appreciate you trying to help
#2 I went by servings, I had to double the servings on the pancake box
#3 reallly? Because my health teacher said that was some huge myth and people in general should have 1800-2000 a day, no matter what, and that's why most dv charts are based on 2000 calorie diets. but oh.. lmfao

Oops sorry, i meant no LESS then 1,200 calories :s I was meaning, like, if that's truly how little you're eating you DO NEED to eat more, as that's unhealthy. :P

I barely eat any calories too.
i usually eat like 850 calories worth a day.
but i still have tummy fat.
but i hate weighing myself because don't forget, it counts:
clothes
thighs
boobies
and even hair.
basically anything that has a weight too it.

You don't need to count calories, you're perfect just the way you are. WHAT THE ACTUAL ? You are not chubby! If you're chubby then I must be the fattest person in the world! You're not fat, you're not even close to it
