Default A question about calories - metabolism and "starvation mode" and Weight Watchers

Also one other minor point. If you are eating the same foods more or less
day after day and taking the packaged calorie count, this can also be a
problem. They are sometimes not accurate. If something that you eat daily
has an error on the label it could be a big deal. The most obvious of these
sorts of things is a local muffin we have here, labeled at 240 calories.
Someone in my group doubted it and sent it for analysis with some Houston
relative who had access to equipment. It was actually a 385 calorie bomb.
