i am currently hitting a palteau and i was wondering if it's a good idea to increase my calorie intake? i'm eating about 1400-1600 a day right now. i'm 5'6 and 156 pounds. (my spoke with a dietian the other day and she said i need to increase it) but i really dont' want to gain weight. what do you guys think?

thank you
 
Your dietician is probably right, ive been told many times over that cals shouldnt be under 1800 cals a day. i think if you up your cals but still eat right and exercise you should be ok. i know when i hit a plateau what helped me was changing everything around. i now only eat clean foods,ive added weights to my exercise routine and i do cardio 5-6x's a week(including HIIT) a change really help push me past my plateau(and all the help and support i got from this forum) :)
 
yeah I think you should be fine. As long as you're exercising then 1800 cals should be good. Well, it's ideal. I think it's 1600 for women who don't exercise
