My calorie allowance is 1,784 and I exercise every day except for Sunday as it's my job. However this week I have put on weight. I know it is the wrong time of the month, but 4 lbs is a lot to put on (I am 5ft 8 inches). I started at 12 st 9 lbs went down to 12 st and am now 12 st 4 lbs. Why have I put on? Could I be below my BMR and not eating enough? Any advice welcome.
All this leads me to the conclusion that the 4 pounds you have put on is more than likely due to hormonal fluctuations around the time of the month. Some women can put on up to half a stone in fluid, so try not too be worried - you'll probably have lost it again by your next weigh in.
