um- there are 3500 calories in alb- i don't know where you got the 1300 from. but what you're not taking into consideration is that you burn calories from doing more then just consintrated exersize. you're burning calories every minute of the day. for instance at my weight i burn 2500 calories even before i add in my workout- just for staying alive and walking from class to class and so on! so if i eat 1300 calories then i'd be losing 1200 calories a day which means i'd lose 2.4 lbs a week. BUT, you add in my hour of taebo a day which burns 1000 calories then i'd lose 4.4lbs a week. the only problem is i'm not consistent enough with this. but the math works out great...

yeah there's 3,500 calories per pound. And also, even if you never get out of bed your body has a basical metabolic rate (BMR). That's the amount of calories you burn even if you never move the whole day. type in BMR in google and you can figure out yours. Like for me, since I'm 5'4, 15 years old, and 140 pounds, my BMR is around 1,420 calories per day. And that doesn't even count if you're exercising, beecause then it will go up. If you don't eat at least as much as your BMR, then your metabolism slows down because it thinks you're starving, and you will stop losing weight.
