Who eats roughly 1500?

ashesfromfire · January 2016

Hey there MFP people! I love all my friends here but I they seem to be split between people who eat 1200 kcal or 2000+ and kuddos, whatever works for them! But I'd love some friends who eat closers to my calorie goals because I like to snoop on your diary and get meal ideas

mkakids · January 2016

I recenntly dropped my cal goal from 1500 to 1300, but with exercise i end up around 1500. Feel free to add me!

JenniferLynWhatx · January 2016

I try to net 1400 or so. Doesn't always happen. But as long as the "if every day were like today" message shows a loss, I'm good

Bella0531 · January 2016

I'm at 1400 (I'll add in a little for exercise) - feel free to send me a friend request.

Nice to meet you! How are you finding it? 1200 was difficult at first, then became normal...so much, that I'm really forcing myself to eat more for the increased goal...xo

You can snoop/friend me. Usually around 1400 or so - some days more, some days less.

Yeah, when I first moved to maintaining it was hard (I net 1,460 and that means I usually gross around 1,800 -2,000 because I am fairly active). When I was losing weight I tended to save my calories for the evening because I like a big dinner, but it was too much for the evening once I moved to maintaining. So I had to "retrain" myself to eat a bigger breakfast and lunch. And I introduced an afternoon snack, which I had skipped while losing weight.

I began using more fat in my salad dressings (I had used apple cider vinegar and mustard while losing weight), will sometimes have a latte (had black coffee while losing weight), and indulge more on Friday date night with my husband.

Wow that's your maintenance?I'm on 1660 to lose weight which is more then your maintenance haha. I was on 1200 for about a month but after reading articles discussing if was healthy or not, I decided to go with what the NHS recommends me my intake to be to lose weight. Only changed it yesterday so hope I still lose. Will send you all freed requests

pzarnosky · January 2016

I eat 1500 a day and then another 100 for every mile I run that day. Feel free to add me!

BigBigBertha · January 2016

I try to net 1480 or slightly less. Add me

ms_smartypants · January 2016

My goal is 1600 but I eat 100 or 200 calories lower ....my diary is open to anyone ..you are more than welcome to look at it

lgoldfarb · January 2016

I'm at about 1500. My diary is open, feel free to snoop. I'm in losing mode and bouncing between 3-4 lbs lost since Jan 1st.

lyndefisher · January 2016

Started maintenance a few weeks ago. It bumped me from 1200 to 1960. Figured that was too big a jump at one time so I have been increasing slowly. Up to 1500 but it's not always easy for me to hit that (I try and not go over on carbs and fats and not too far over on protein). Feel free to add me.

sairsyfairy · January 2016

I eat around 1490 daily. Feel free to add me

Stanley1903 · January 2016

My goal on a non active day is 1300-1400. Most days I eat around 1500 because I have exercise calories. I have gone all the way up to a few random 1800-1900 calorie days due to a big date night or Christmas, etc. But I've always had a loss showing in the "if every day were like today" box. That's what matters to me! 25 1/2 pounds down now, 5 pounds to healthy weight, 15 1/2 to goal #1.

LOL...I was at 1200 since August, have lost almost 80 lbs to date. I think mine is so low because I am built very small, and my lifestyle is quite sedentary, even with my workouts.

This is what I've been doing too....allowing myself more PB on my toast...adding a little more butter, eating a bit more meat per meal....and I've upped my French Vanilla a few times from Medium to large...lol...sounds trite, but it helps to increase the cals!

jplinis · January 2016

Mine is around 1460. Although I do eat less on days I don't go to the gym. Feel free to add me.

eddycaa · January 2016

I'm close at 1800 calories. Feel free to snoop at my food diary. I just started logging again so I'd give it a few days. I'm gluten-free and tend to stick to high protein lowish carb meals

thrashscara · January 2016

I've just upped mine from 1200 to 1500 recommended by my PT, feel free to look at my diary

Shanel0916 · January 2016

I recently changed my goal from 1 pound a week to 1/2 a pound a week so my calories are now at 1520 and I eat some of my exercise cals. My diary is open to friends anyone feel free to add.

LHWhite903 · January 2016

1390-1700 a day, depending on my needs. I'm open.

CaffeinatedConfectionist · January 2016

I'm 1500/day during the week and tend to do my own cooking so feel free to creep for meal ideas (my actual goal is to average about 1800-1900 per week, but I know from previous experience that I'm going to eat a lot more on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so I compensate with a deeper cut on Monday-Thursday).

sarahspenceee · January 2016

check out app eat this much, you can make it come up with a meal plan with recipes that will fit around settings like " 1500 cal day" or "under 100 g of carbs" or both..its pretty tight...
