I know I should probably eat more then that but I'm not as hungry as I used to be. Also do you think walking at a moderate pace is good too? People keep telling me that walking is better then running but I don't see how that is.
It's better on the knees. Less impact. Whether it burns the same amount of calories...probably not. But you could always walk for a longer period of time.
And you probably want to eat more than once or twice a day. Even if it's just fat free yogurt or something. I'm not expert with this, but starving yourself like that isn't good for losing weight. Actually, I think you start to use energy from lean muscle tissue and not fat that way.
