If you are more than about 500cal/day less that what you are using, your body goes into starvation mode and stores everything. Don't forget to add in calories from any protein shakes/bar or other supplements you may be taking to that total.

You can find some good resources here to determine how many calories YOU should be consuming on a daily basis to maintain your weight. Nutrition calculators are listed about halfway down the page. You can adjust from there whether you want to gain or lose. You should check in with that figure regularly during big changes in body composition and/or activity.
