Sport Increasing Calories=losing weight??

Sport Fitness
Recently I increased my calories from 1600 to 2000 to maintain my weight. Today I weighed myself and was shocked to find that I had actually dropped from 110 to 108. Why am I losing weight when I just increased my calories. Do I need to increase them even more?? Thanks for your help.
 
Depends. Is your goal fat loss? People are stunned when fitness professionals tell them to eat more... but it works! Eating more is almost always the key. Well that and a bit more protein and more activity :cool:
 
Just noticed you said you wanted to "maintain". So yes you need to eat more to maintain. I read a bit on your other post and you are VERY active. So that means eating lots of food to maintain weight.
 
Try bumping up another two to three hundred, see what happens. If you lose some more, go up another two hundred. So basically see what happens at 2200-2300.
 
Thanks for all your help. I'm gonna try around 2200 for a while and see how it goes.
