Answer 1

Metabolisms USUALLY slow down when a person loses weight. You may be burning 4700 calories when you were 235 lbs and probably 3360 calories now that you are 165-170 lbs. But, muscles contribute alot to metabolism. If you have gotten more muscular, your metabolism must still be high even when you are losing weight.
