Well that is an almost impossible question to answer. If you normally eat that much or more without gaining weight then it is fine.

If you gain weight on that amount it isn't. But how much you need each day depends on your metabolism, your age and muscle mass and height and activity level. I have seen people gain weight on less than 2000 calories a day even with exercise and others who ate around 6000 calories a day with no weight gain.

You can get an idea of an average that you need by going to a program like livestrong.com and figuring in your activity level and calculating the calories you ate. It is just an average though. A guideline.

I could never eat what you did without massive weight gain eventually but that doesn't mean it is too much for you. The real problem is the nutrition level because of the amount of high fat fast food, At least according to everything I know about nutrition

Sorry I couldn't give you a clear cut answer.

i'm sorry hun, but that sounds like a bad and unhealthy diet. you need to watch you calaries but you also have to feed your matabalism. if you starve yourself, your metabalism will crash and make it very hard to lose weight or keep it off. without knowing the calorie count of the meals you ate and how many calories a day you burn there is no way to answer your question though. the most effective diets have you eating at least 4 times a day btw. small, evenly spaced meals with lots of veggies and little or no oil or refined sugar. be wary of sugar substitues though as they are not very healthy in themselves. If you are serious about losing weight, talk to you doctor.

My first question is how much do you currently weigh? And prior to Thursday how was your diet, meaning unrestricted intake. With what was described above I am thinking that you are not eating enough. When you put the body into starvation mode it makes weight loss harder.

Your grandmother is concerned for you and that is a reasonable thing, eating disorders are a serious thing.

As mentioned in a prior post using a tracker app can help you safely reach your goal.

These apps calculate your calorie intake using your weight and your weekly loss goal. Many calculate your intake based on Net calories, offsetting the calories burned during exercise. They also include warnings in the event that you are under a safe amount of calories.

As a baseline minimum daily caloric intake for women is 1200 and it is 1800 for men.

We TG/TS's need to eat properly and take care of ourselves, we stress our bodies during transition enough becoming our true selves.

Honey, consider this? I you ask the question, don't you already know the answer? You don't need us to tell you if you are overeating, because you already know, right?
