What are your net calories on average a day?

I try to NET at least 1200, and generally try to have my net match my initial daily goal.

And, to echo other, your NET should always be over 1200 and should NEVER be negative.

OMG. I had to actually set *limits* on my cardio after the first couple weeks being here. My net was getting too low and I'd start binging late at night. Better on my joints and muscles to limit the cardio and eat less than to work every bit of food off and let the hunger drive me bonkers. :-D

I have changed my evening meal a little and now I am standing at a NET of 560. Better than 216 but not perfect. I will have to monitor it over the next few weeks to see if I still lose and make sure I don't fall of the wagon!

I Net about 750-800 ish a day...I am not starving myself and I eat often...I am not gonna eat more than what I am now..I just think that is working against what I am trying to do. I find the whole eating calories back thing weird..go ahead and bash me if you wish.. maybe I AM just confused haha

Totally depends on how much exercise I do. On a rest day I am usually near quota (1220), but on a day when I do a 10k, I am usually 300 under.

If you are burning 4000 cals a day with exercise then you SHOULD definatley fuel your body alot more than usual.

Interesting read! Thanks Taso for posting this link! I think perhaps, I have been overdoing it a bit and that is why I am having so much trouble with my knees and the patella tendonitis. I am going to have to redo my fitness program!
