2500 caloires is a lot even for someone not on anti-psychotics.

I am on less than 1500 a day!

Hello @labratmat, are you male or female ? 1500 calories by day seems few.
Have you a normal weight with your 1500 calories by day ? Do you do sport Also ?
I want to try to do more sport and try just 2400 calories by day.

It is difficult to lose weight with 2500 calories intake

I’m counting my calories and try not to go above 1700 calories

I’m on Depakote
It’s a weight gaining med for sure

This is why exercise and a healthy diet becomes crucial with this med

i have been eating a low calorie diet for years in all honesty.

It isn’t a diet, it is just how much i eat until i can get on cobenfy or whatever.

if any one is on aps then a low calorie diet is all you can do unless you take the jabs and cheat lol.

After awhile your stomach shrinks and the hunger is occasional for me.
