im trying 1200... but if i stay around 1200 i feel like im starving...0

1,620. Seems like alot, but then again I have well over 100 lbs to lose JUST to get down to 150. bleh!0
-
I'm also on 1200, and I try not to eat the extra calories I get from exercise too! Its hard work!0
-
Im on 1,380.. and i allow myself to eat some exercise cals... i struggle with Sugar intake as i always go over with fruit.. so now im limiting myself to 2 bits of fruit instead of the 4 i used to have and stock up on tonnes of veg!! Yum Yum!!0
-
I'm on 1,200. I too, try my best not to eat any of the exercise calories, but if I do, I do... that's what they're there for - back up.
As long as I don't go over, I'm happy.0 -
I eat between 1200 or 1500, I actually don't really stress over it as long as I don't go under or over. Seems to be working for me :flowerforyou:0

Do you mean you just eat your 1200 and and don't count the exercise ones unless you want a little treat? If so, that's what I startied doing but I was sooo ravenous from my workouts that I needed to eat them. Hehe. Now I try to burn around 800 calories or under at the gym. It's a fine balance.0 -

You are doing fantastic! I think the first week is the most hard for me. I feel it's impossible but then I see you and other people that have lost 20+ pounds. It's inspiring and proving me wrong.0 -
My net is set at 1250 but I rarely eat less than 1600 due to exercise. I average about 1800 most days. And yes, it's working. :bigsmile:0

im set at 1200 however I have been eating around 800-900 only because I dont have time to eat and yes I am always starving!! I do drink about 12 glasses of water a day also.0

That isn't very much to eat! What kind of food do you eat daily?0 -
I usually try to stay within the 1200-1300 a day, but I am often under because I eat quite a few veg. I always find that the days I am in the higher range are the days I eat eggs... maybe that is saying something...0

Ah interesting. Egg whites or whole eggs?0 -
Whole eggs.. I usually eat 2. With a piece of multi-grain bread. That in total is around 300 cals. When I don't eat eggs, my breakfast is usually only about 150 cals, which is a yogurt and peice of fruit. Usually what I have for breakfast determines my cals for the rest of the day0
-
Yes, same with me! It's seems to balance out what i eat for the rest of the day too.0

Well lets see for breakfast I eat fat free cottage cheese and a cup of strawberries and it really really feels me up, for lunch I eat a lean pocket and a fat free pudding and for dinner it varies. I work anight job so I dont eat dinner until around 11-12. In between all my meals I drink tons and tons of water. I always feel hungry while im at work however I dont have time to eat. I know its not healty but I dont really have a choice. This is however my 3rd day so I do have some days off heading my way so Im sure ill be between 1200-1500.0

Eating fat-free cottage cheese for breakfast in the morning is a really good idea, since it is much lower in calories than eggs, and it is a protein. Thanks for the great tip! I always considered it a dinner food for some reason0

Mine is set at 1200 and I always eat my exercise calories so that I don't go into starvation mode. I try to stay at or a little above 1200 on days that I don't exercise ....which gives me an incentive to exercise since I want more food :laugh: When I do exercise, I average about 1600-1800 calories a day, depending on what exercises I do.0
-
I eat 1,700 a day. I burn 800-900 calories a day from exercise. I don't eat any of my exercise calories. I have a lot to lose and this works for me. I lose on average 3 pounds a week. Cindy0
