    I'm 5' 7" and down to about 172 (SW 180) and it has me set at 1560. I'm eating close to that a day, before exercise, but having trouble eating back my exercise calories because I'm working out after dinner and I just don't feel hungry and by the time I do get a twinge of hunger, it is eleven at night and I won't eat that late

    I'm 5'4", currently 133.0 lbs, and my current target to lose 1/2 lb per week is 1390 net, and I do eat my exercise calories, so I normally eat a total of around 1800-2000. Today was a 2000 day. :-)

    Everyones will be soo different because they have to take height, current weight activity and whether u are male or female. Men always need more maintenaince kcals then women. its just so not fair. You can adjust your kcals to what best works for you. A person whom has a lot of weight to lose shouldnt set there kcals really low ( max 500kcal deficit) because they are less likely to be able to follow. After about the first 4-5 weeks when the hunger pains go away then you can adjust it a little more.

    134 lbs, 5'4", 1400 calories. I've played around with it a bit and decided that I don't want to be stuck at 1200 calories.


    Same here... I'm 5'4 138 pounds and just recently boosted it up from 1230 to 1450 because I hit a plateau, and realized I just wasn't eating enough.

    Google - Harris Benedict Formula (I saw someone post a website about it.)

    At 182 lbs, 5’-5.5” with a moderatly active lifestyle it told me I need 2457 calories to maintain current weight.

    Because I want to lose 2 lbs a week I should subtract 1,000 calories (500 per pound)

    That puts me at 1457 calories. I range from 1200 - 2000 but on most days I stay around 1400 and it seems to be working!

    Net above 1200 less than 1400. That gives me a little wiggle room if my counts are off.
