What amount of calories should i be eating to lose about a pound a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aim lower: To lose about a pound a week will require creating a negative balance of 4500 calories per week. It is not how much you should eat, but how much less you eat than you burn is important. It would be more doable to aim for losing a pound a month by both eating less and exercising more.

If someone is obsessively counting calories and eating 500 a day, working out, and losing ten pounds a week do they likely have an eating disorder?
Ive been working out (boxing and Pilates), as well as walking for 3 weeks. Ive always had a very poor metabolism (or at least difficulty losing weight), but I havent lost even one pound. I am fine with slow progress, but not zero progress. My concern is that I might not be taking in enough calories for my size. Im 56 and 291 pounds. Ive been eating between 950-1100 calories a day. Thanks for your help. Nutrition concern?
