Answers:
It is way too little. You are way under the amount for a normal person on a diet. You aren't eating enough to sustain your body. What happens is your body begins to feel that it is being starved and it begins to hold on to the fat and you begin to lose muscle instead of the fat. You should eat about 1500 calories, or a little more if you are going to be doing a lot of excercise. This may sound strange to you, but in all reality, the more you eat the more you will lose. You need to read some books on nutrition to get a better handle on the art of dieting. It isn't the calories that you put into your mouth, but it's putting the right calories, mixxed together into your system that makes you lose weight. I used to think like you do, and I ate almost nothing. It sort of worked when I was younger, but I never was able to keep the weight off. It's like people who go on fasts and then start eating and can''t understand why they put the weigh back on. All they really lost was thee water in their system, and that's a lot of what you are doing.
I hate to sound like a know it all, but believe me, I've tried every crazy diet out there, and some not so craz one. I've done Atkins (really worked for a limited time, but I hate meat), Weight Watchers (had trouble with the points, liked the earlier systerm) Fasting, grapefruit diet, Simian Diet (500 calories a day and shots of a protien daily) liquid protien diet, powder protien diet in fruit juice and vitamins. Finally decided to try the South Beach Diet and I found a diet that works. I reached maintance quite awhile ago and now eat normally, trying to stay on the diet, but adding little things, and when I screw up, I go back to first week and I'm back to where I should be. I'm never hungry and can always find something when I eat out. I say, don't kill yourself to lose weight that will come back, do it in a same manner.
thats way too little...and you're a guy? do you want to be rail thin?
I don't know how old you are or how big you are, but that probably isn't enough.
No, it's too few. Around 500 is anorexic.
no eat is not too much especially since you burned more than that!
Even on a diet you should be consuming 1200-1500 calories a day. Having a goal of 500 is unhealthy.
NO. The normal calorie intake to be a healthy individual is 2,000. But since you are 18 and about the same height as me, try 1,500 calories and you will be fine.
thats way too low, your metabolism is going to slow and inhibit your weight loss. Increase your cal intake to 1200 and increase the exercise, youll lose weight faster.
not really. A normal man needs 2000-25000 cals per day
how can you even stand up during the day i drink protein shakes that have more calories than that
people shouldnt go under 1500cals

Hi,
I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it. The results were excellent and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I felt fantastic and I dropped another 5 pounds safely. That's why I recommend you check this product at http://www.fit-thin.info where they have a free trial and you only pay 5.49$ shipping and handling.
Good luck!
