hey everyone im new and looking for any help i can get. i do read the post and understand finding your caloric intake ect by the calculators given on this site...but no one really wants to help me get started or better understand how to get out of starvation mode. i never feel hungry until dinner time...i know its bad to eat just one meal a day..and i can see the results because at 5'2 im about 133 pounds. i know im not obese but im not average weight either..not tone at all. you would think for eating one meal a day i would be less...im just confused..is my body in starvation mode or not? i read that starvation mode is under 1200 calories but that people are real skinny...which is not me. i know im blabbing im just so confused...i want to be tone and do it on my own but i need a helping hand to start if anyones willing to. i read if i up my calories slowly say by 50 and then so on my body will get use to it but..it just seems like no mater what i eat i gain.
