calories left/burnt

Hi, I still can't seem to understand the whole calories left concept.... I usually have a -1,000 calories at the end of the day, and it doesn't really make sense to me....

Hi Tirza60

Ten kilograms in 2 months might be unsustainable.
Our bodies don't like drastic changes and when they do take place,
it usually..backfires!

Going slowly, eating nutrient dense quality food, drinking plenty of spring water 1 hour away from meals and getting as much physical activity as your schedule and physical condition allow without exceeding 2 hours daily
(key is to ease into any new program), will serve you better.

1000 calories a day may be too low and you may be going into preservation mode, where your metabolism slows down that you burn very few calories, for survival purposes.

Losing weight is not necessarily a math exercise.

Best wishes.
Niko

What is your set intake for the day? If you go over your daily intake its going to start going into the negatives.
