Is this too little to be eating? I've heard that eating too little can make you not lose weight or make you gain, is this true?Can eating too little make you gain weight?
Yes, you are definitely eating too little. If you go below 1200-1500 calories you risk slowing down your metabolism, which will either cause weight gain or no weight loss. Obvisouly, if you eat this long enough you will lose weight, but as soon as you start eating more, you will just gain it back. Try eating 6 small meals a day. That way you will never feel too full and you won't feel deprived either. Also, try getting in at least 20 to 30 minutes of exercise a day.Can eating too little make you gain weight?
It's hard to answer this for you because I don't know your size, weight, etc.

Eating too little causes your body to cling to whatever fat you do put in it because it's in starvation mode and doesn't know when it'll next be fed.



Try and eat at least 1200 cals a day.
