How much should I be eating?

Hey guys,

I have lost about 20 pounds over the last 6 months or so, mostly cutting out crap, and actually getting regular exercise. Lately I've been realizing I don't think I'm eating nearly enough, maybe 1000 calories on a good day, and then having cheat days. (Not a good habit I know). I'm 5ft and around 115 pounds. I try to go to the gym 3 times a week, do some cardio and some strength training. I don't need to lose anymore weight, but I want to continue to tone, and lose fat, and somewhat maintain my weight. I find that if I eat much more than I do, my weight is out of waco. But I also realize the scale isn't always accurate. Any suggestions? Amount to consume, what to consume, anything helps!

    Use MFP to get a calorie goal.

    Weigh and log your food.

    Set your goal to maintenance and make sure you're logging everything as accurately as possible.
