It may seem manageable to start with but after a few days you will end up feeling exhausted and hungry especially if you are exercising everyday and you wil probably end up bingeing or overeating as a result of this. If you are exercising 30-60 mins daily i'd recommend eating at LEAST 15-1600 cals per day!
Reply from Samantha, Age 17 - 01/03/08 - IP#: 66.25.243.xxx I bought a book for teens that says im supposed to be eating 2000 calories a day. I think thats kind of high. Yesterday I didnt even eat 1400. I think I should eat around 1300. Not sure. I am going to be exercising more everyday I do about 20 to 30 min. of cardio every night. Trying to do 1 hour because thats how long the dvd is. I have been eating alot of chicken and salad. Let me know. Thanks
