| Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for the replies.. In response, I'd say that because I have such a small frame, my calorie requirements ARE lower than the average person of my height, so I think frame AND height are the right way to measure it, rather than using height as a general measure..
When I was losing weight, I'd say anything over 15/1600cals would not see any reductions, so my maintenance was just over that at, say 17-1800cals.. That would mean that taking in around 2000cals would not be THAT much of a jump.. So I can't see why I would gain a stomach so fast.. I think the person who said something about slowling my already slow metabolism down further by cutting and taking in super-low cals may have a point!..
And to the person who said I should wait till I'm in my mid-20s - I am fully developed and I don't think there'll be any further growth spurts, my height and frame were fully set by the time I was about 18.. And I'm not looking for/expecting any changes on that front, so I don't think waiting till my mid-20s is all that great of an idea!.. but thanks anyway!..
Since posting my initial post, I've had a change of heart due to a recent change in personal circumstances and decided to take my diet a different way so I won't be too fussed on the stomach/cals/ideal weight front anymore!!.. Perhaps I'll pick it all up again in the winter or later.. Thanks for the replies thus far..
