How many calories do ya’ll eat a day? I eat a lot of calories and protein, but always seem to be hungry. Not looking to lose, just maintain/get toned. Also, does anybody do “cheat meals”?

    Fill up with veggies. And I eat a macro based diet so I don't do cheat meals. I try to make everything fit.

    What are you using to determine how many calories you need to eat to maintain, and are you tracking that? Could be you might need more to maintain.

    This answer is going to depend on a person's height, weight, gender, activity level, and whether they are wanting to gain, maintain, or lose weight.

    I've often seen woman looking to lose weight be very surprised at the amount of calories an active man in maintenance can eat.
