A member asked:
Is 6 lbs to much weight loss in a few weeks. not much appetite and eat healthy when i do. 1300 calories a day i guess 131 lbs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The average number of calories needed per day for a woman is between 1600 and 2400 depending upon activity levels. At 1300 calories per day, you. are essentially on a diet that will cause you to lose weight. So, yes your weight loss sounds excessive and your caloric intake seems to be below what you need.
