Hey everyone. Just curious what people are shooting for as far as total calorie intake per day?
Specifically fellow guys, but girls welcome too!
MFP set mine at around 2,300, and I've always thought that sounds a bit high...so what are yours?

    If MFP says 2300 you should trust it :) it doesn't sound high for a guy at all but I don't know your stats. I eat much less (1200+some exercise calories) but then again I'm a short girl and within healthy BMI so not much left to lose.

    The app gave me 1350. Seems about right. If I approach 1500 I'll gain.

    Male, 5'9, currently 172lbs and doing a slow cut to get back down to my "cycling weight".

    Goal is 2000 + exercise calories which means anywhere from 2000 to 4200 on any particular day.

    Aiming to lose 1kg/week so 1320 cals, but with the exercise calories I'd average around 2000-2200 cals on any given day and stay within my goal.

    I am 5'4" and breastfeeding a one year old on demand. I am on 1800 calories a day and have been losing 2 lbs a week. Starting weight was 157 lbs. I am now at 151. Goal weight is 130. I am curious if I can continue losing on such a high calorie diet when I have less to lose. Breastfeeding is awesome.

    1610, which is my maintenance calories with no exercise. I usually eat a little under during the week and have higher calorie weekends :)

    currently 1846 to lose approximately 0.8 lbs per week (my maintenance is around 2300)
    5'4.5"
    121.9 trend weight
    120.9 recent low scale weight

    Usually I just use MFP's numbers (1300 NET at my current weight) and let my Fitbit adjust MFP's calories up or down as needed. Recently I've been experiencing some issues with the link between the two that have made the adjustments unreliable, so I used IIFYM calculator to come up with a steady calorie amount to aim to average (it actually spit out a number slightly lower then my avg total intake in Feb where I lost 0.7 lbs per week).
