Make sure you're eating enough calories.
According to Somer, women tend to underestimate their daily intake by about 800 calories. Cutting too few calories can put your body into starvation mode and slows your metabolism, says Kathy McManus, R.D., director of the department of nutrition at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
According to Healthline, the average woman should eat about 2000 calories per day to maintain her current weight and 1500 calories to lose one pound of weight per week. Apps like MyFitnessPal calculate your daily caloric intake and protein, fat, and carbohydrate goals based on your height, age, and weight.
