    5'7, 175ish, for fat loss eating 20% deficit at 2094 a day averaged out - since I'm eating a maintenance day once a week, I've split it up as 2026 6x a week and 2500 once a week.

    ETA: mostly sedentary lifestyle, ~5hrs of exercise a week on top. 2100 is my total consumption, not net.

    In competition with a guy at work for the second time. I annihilated him the first time around, and I'm on track to do it again with a whole 1,400 calories a day.

    I'm 5'2 and my daily calorie intake is currently set at 1500

    5'5/F - 1233 because I'm cutting right now on a LCHF regime. I don't find it hard to maintain. LCHF makes me feel quite full all day. Plus I only eat twice a day. Morning (after exercise) and night time. I'm not particularly hungry in the middle of the day.
  • 5'6" and 1440...still have a lot of left over baby weight to lose...

    In maintenance or bulking? Or do you just do a lot of higher endurance activity to account for a much higher TDEE/maintenance needs? I'm heavier than you and that's closer to maintenance for me with 5hrs of exercise a week! You must be quite active overall for needs to be this high if you are on a healthy deficit for fat loss.

    At around 160, you're definitely not eating enough food. You can still do low-carb while eating an appropriate amount of calories.. considering fat is very calorie dense, you must not be eating a lot of food volume-wise :/

    I find eating this many calories works best for me. I do minimal exercise during the week. Trying to lose body fat, but I stick to a low fat diet. For me, eating a lot of fat does not help me lose fat! To each their own, I just find eating 2000+ whole calories per day gives optimal energy!

    Do you follow a raw food diet or a raw till 4 regularly? I'm trying to start, but it's been really difficult!

    M, 21, 5'6" - 1400 calories most days, while sedentary. Some days I come in slightly under. Don't shoot me though, that's a 1000 calorie deficit, I eat high protein and take a MV. I'll eat more when the weather is comfortable enough for me to start exercising.

    I did for about a month back in March, and never felt better! I had so much energy, and literally felt amazing. Then I stopped, went back to feeling terrible and am trying yo start again! I am trying to ease into it this time so I don't lose motivation
