    Well. If you don't count breakfast or snacks and ignore half of the food I eat I'd probably count. Maybe.

    1,500, but I invented 'burrito Friday' with myself, and I like red wine and beer.

    Hi. I would like to get/see some examples of people eating 1500 calls a day. No fast food or chips or candy in the mix though. Thx.

    Add me if you like, I believe my diary is closed. I usually eat about 1400 cals a day, and very rarely sweets, candy, or fast food (I do love Wendy's salads occasionally). I did have cream cheese candies the past three days(:blushing:), but that's not the norm for me.
    :huh: :love:

    I'm closer to 1600 but I eat clean apart from 1 cheat meal per week.

    Feel free to look at my diary.

    Im currently eating between 1400-1700 in an effort to lean out a little but dont want to lose strength so High protein, whereas carbs and fat vary. I generally eat bacon/eggs for breakfast (2 eggs and 1 slice of bacon or 3 slices of bacon), mid morning I have meat, sweet potato and veg. Lunch is similar (sometimes fish). Mid afternoon is meat or fish and fruit. Dinner is meat/fish and sweet potato or rice (Im gf due to IBS).

    Today was day 1 for me trying carbnite eating plan. The rule is 30-40g of carbs a day for first 10 day's. Today I ate 39g consumed 1022 cals and believe it or not and email me to tell me I'm damaging my body, but I am so full, I have never felt this full before... its one day at a time and after 10 day's I get a carb day. After 5pm I can eat carbs. Then I go a week back to 30-40g then carbnite!!! Before this I was losing weight on 1680 cals a day... but this eating plan is designed to kick start metabolism... maybe a gimmick but its Christmas I don't really have anything to lose anyway, if I can work. Christmas into my carb day then kudos to me

    Normally, 3500 calories/day; while dieting, 2000-2500 calories/day. I'm 5'4", a size 0, 41 years old, and have 2 kids, one who just started walking. Very little fast food, chips, or candy during the week, on the weekends I eat whatever I want, including candy; I usually have a scoop of local ice cream daily as well as wine. If you're not losing weight, it's because you need to exercise--add weights & strength training to increase your metabolism. Eat real food, but don't deny yourself something you crave, just don't eat an entire pint of ice cream, a bag of candy, or chips.

    The only reason I started tracking again is that my skinny jeans got tight after Thanksgiving in the South (lots of fried chicken and fish), plus a long SCUBA diving weekend in St. Lucia, where I drank my weight in Piton beer, daily.

    I eat a lot of cauliflower, kale, apples, & eggs when on a diet.

    Feeling full is not the same as getting proper nutrition and enough calories to fuel your body.

    Obviously that's not what your concerned with though, you're just concerned with dropping pounds faster, so, carry on.

    Just out of interest - what does "candy" entail?? As in, sweeties, or chocolate?

    I eat 1470 cals a day. I do eat chocolate, cookies and other little things now and then. Deprivation of the things I Crave makes me binge so I do add little things in there now and then as long as I keep it under my calorie count.

    I eat more than 1400 cals a day, with healthy food sometimes, although I sometimes I find to little.
    I eat oatmeal, fruits, meat, fish, yogurt, integral crackers, vegetables, flaxseeds, cashews, peanuts, peanut butter,.... Sometimes I eat chocolate (I try to eat black chocolate). I normaly use the 80/20 rule.

    I eat 1600 plus exercise calories but I also eat fast food 3x a week or so, and right now I'm obsessed with chocolate covered almonds so that leaves me out :sad: .

    Can only lose when having under 1300 a day. It really is a lot of food, just the right kind of food. Cannot exercise much due to arthritis in knees. No cravings for candy, or alcohol maybe due to age, the cold weather does leave me craving "comfort" food!
