    5'7", and I net around 1600 a day (average, while trying to lose bodyfat. I maintain on something like 2300, I think.)

    I could probably eat more and do fine, which is why I intend to get a fitbit or something similar soon.

    I'm 5'6". On rest days I eat close to 1700 calories and when working out I try to eat back 1/2 to 3/4 of my calories. And I usually have one cheat day every few weeks (about an extra 200-300 calories). I'm trying to lose 1/2 lb a week as I only have 10 more to go.

    I usually eat around 1700 but on days where I exercise a lot it will be more around 1900-2100. My tdee is 2300 when I exercise for an hour and a half a day 6 days/week and more when I exercise for 2+ hours a day.

    1460 at 1.5 pounds a week atm. Maintenance is around 2200. I eat back all exercise calories, but I use a heart rate monitor to estimate calorie burn from cardio though, then take convert that gross estimate to a net estimate and thats what I record/eat back on myfitnesspal. So typically I eat between 1600-1800 calories depending on how much I worked out that day.

    1700 usually. I have a Fitbit but I am pretty Sedentary aside from step based activities. On a good day, I may be able to eat around 2,000 cals when eating back Fitbit Adjustments.
