Will I gain weight by eating 1700 calories?

Everyone’s individual calorie needs vary, as does whether they are likely to gain, lose, or maintain their weight at a certain calorie intake. You can use an online calculator to estimate your individual needs and then establish a goal based on whether you would like to lose, gain, or maintain your weight.

Is 1700 calories enough with exercise?

1700 calories with regular exercise is optimal for some individuals but if you are very active, have ample muscle mass and have high energy expenditure, this range may not be enough for you.

Why am I not losing weight at 1700 calories?

1700 calories may not be the right goal for you. It might be too many or too few calories, either of which could hinder your weight loss efforts. Start by using an online calculator to determine your daily calorie needs to maintain your weight based on individual factors. Then establish a goal based on the calorie deficit you want to create. A calorie deficit is the difference between the number of calories you expend in a day and the number you take in through eating and drinking. A 500 calorie daily deficit is usually a good place to start for sustainable weight loss.
