I started CICO on April 9th, eating around 1200cal/day (this number is based off of my TDEE- I’m not starving myself). I had started sometime last year but fell off the wagon and ended up 30lbs heavier than I started. Anyway, I decided to try again a few weeks ago and upon looking through my entries on MFP I noticed I was logging around 8-900 calories a day for 4 out of the 7 days this past week, which I believe is accurate because I was so busy that I hadn’t even noticed how little I ate and also wasn’t hungry. I also cycle around 10 miles/day on a stationary bike and don’t log exercise so my calorie count was even less. I actually went up a pound and have been stagnant since then and am wondering could that have caused this stop? I know there are ups and downs in weight loss so I’m not concerned about that- I’m just wondering whether eating too little for a few days here and there can trigger your body to hold on to what it has or whether it takes an extended period of malnourishment for that to happen?
