A member asked:
If some1 is on a low cal diet (e.g. 900 cal a day) & would like 2 go up to 1,500 cal without gaining weight, how many cals should they add each week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not nutritionist: And if anyone else is please chime in...but 900 is a VERY restrictive diet. You could easily add 100 cal a day and be up to the 1500 (which is still somewhat restricted for most) in a week. Key to weight loss is to restrict CARBS, not fat.
