Eat more = lose more weight I've been trying to lose weight my whole life. I've tried multiple diets but I always come back to cico. Although here recently I decided to do something I've never done before which is eat more than 1,200-1,400 cals a day while trying to lose weight. (Hoping it would help me stick to the lifestyle change without giving up) I was shocked when I started losing weight at a faster rate with my calories being around 1,550—1,700 per day 
(about 2lbs a week instead of 1lb or less)
I haven't changed my normal activity rate.
So my question is why am I losing more weight while eating more food?

For reference Starting weight 220lbs, Current weight 185lbs, 5'3, age 22, Gender F.
