    5'4" female 162lbs... aiming to lose 1 lb a week
    My calorie goal is 1270 right now. I often eat around 1500... sometimes up to 1700 but rarely more than that... and I very rarely eat less than 1270 unless I am ill.
    I exercise about 30 minutes every day and that usually brings my net calories close to my goal.

    I am 5"11, 190lbs and eat about 3,000 calories a day. My body fat is remaining constant (about 15% at the moment) and I'm slowly gaining weight on the scale. I can easily get by on 1,000 calories during the day any more makes me sleepy), but eat a huge meal during the evening. Hitting 190 grams of protein everyday can get a bit repetitive but I love cooking on my George Foreman grill.

    5'4" 175lbs 36 years old. I aim for 1590 net which would allow me to lose half a pound a week. I kinda suck at hitting my goal lately, but I'll get back on track.

    I'm 5'9 and 114 lbs. with a BMI of 16.8. Technically, that is considered underweight. I've always been thin and I figured I just was one of those people who could eat anything without gaining weight. Then I realized I'm not actually eating as much as I thought and I did not process all the calories I burn from working out. My Fitness Pal recommends I eat 1900 calories a day. It's 7 in the evening here and I've barely consumed 600 calories minus my afternoon run. I still have to eat dinner so that will probably push my calories to 900-1000ish but that's it. So, how many calories do you consume in one day?

    Weightlifting & Cardio together days = 1800 or more calories.

    Lifting or Cardio only days = 1700 - 1800 calories

    Rest days = 1550 - 1650 calories

    5'3, 125, 45. I'm eating 1800-1900, which is only a little less than my maintenance, I believe.
