If you donât take in enough calories every day, you may not be as fast and as strong as you could be, and may even break down rather than build up your muscles. 1  Donât skip meals.

Calories and Weight. Rather than relying on the clock to slim down, monitor how much you eat. Sedentary women use roughly 1,800 to 2,000 calories per day, while moderately active women use 2,000 to 2,200 calories and highly active women use 2,200 to 2,400 calories. By eating 500 fewer calories per day than you use, you will lose around 1 pound each week. Just don't eat fewer than 1,200 calories in a day or else you're likely to become undernourished. Fewer calories translates to fewer nutrients if you're not careful, so fill up on healthy fare.
