    I am for 2050 as recommended by my nutritionist. I normally hit between 1800-2050.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one! I can't handle eating 1400-1600 cals a day like some of my friends!!

    you probably are like me and have a lot of lean muscle. I am starving myself when I eat less that 1600 my BMR ranges between 1540-1570 and we all know that means that's what I burn without trying....on average my calorie burn at the end of the day is over 2500.

    I aim for 1200 but will allow myself a bit more if I've exercised (which is most days now). I don't eat all my exercise cals back but am a bit more lax on those days.

    I ate 2313 today. I'm on maintenance at 1780 + whatever exercise calories I have.

    blessings.

    Do you always eat all your exercise cals back?? :)

    yes I do! If I have a very large burn day (like maybe a 4 hour ride, or Tuesdays when I teach spin in the morning and then have 3 -hour dance rehearsal at night), I may log some of the exercise onto the next day, and eat extra on the recovery day. I try to reconcile all calories eaten and burned within 24 hours and not leave more than 100 deficit.

    blessings.
