im taking in roughly 1700 a day give or take a bit, and thats with exercise. if i dont exercise its less.
Im not really losing weight on it though0 -
I average about 1500 cals. I have had a couple of off plan days lately but when I am on I try to eat the majority of my exercise calories and that puts me at around 1500-1700 cals.
I have my numbers set at 1200 but that even feels like not enough food to keep me going through the day.0 -
I'm not going to judge. I hope that your diet is managed by your physician since i know that there are medically supervised weight loss programs that target 500 calories a day. I did that once and lost 100 pounds. However, I do want to say that in the end, keeping it off was very difficult because transitioning from 500 calories per day back to a normal diet, even 1200 per day was a huge battle with the scale. Be safe and make sure that someone is watching your nutrition and monitoring all the right stuff. Don't feel guilty when you eat something 1 time. Don't make it a habit, just a once in a while exception and it might keep you from going on a total binge in the long run.
Good luck!
I try to stay at 1200 calories but I do allow myself days where I go over.0 -

Seems like you are @ or near a healthy weight. I would go down to 1200-1400 per day pre exercise is you really wish to lose more.0 -
Between 1200 and 1500 depending on whether or not I work out. 500 is low if you aren't working out, it is ridiculously low if you are. You can't be getting nearly enough nutrition eating only 500 calories a day. Unless you are working with a doctor and are on a very strict diet to ensure you are getting enough nutrition you need to eat at least 1200 calories a day. If you aren't hungry eating that few calories a day your metabolism has probably slowed down drastically.0

MFP says 1210 before exercise, Ive been ranging between 1150 - 1250. 500 isnt enough, your body will go into starvation mode0

I know it seems really drastic to take in only 500calories, I know its your own choice,
you arent doing yourself any favours, be careful,
you are starving yourself and you know it don't try fool yourself.0
