Is there anyone here who has less than 13, 14 or even 15% bodyfat and actually eats over 1200 (net) calories a day?

    For a woman, 13-15% is REALLY lean...like competition stage lean. It is not the norm for "everyday" women.

    However I am 18.5% in the "athletic" range, and I eat 1800+ per day...maintaining my weight at 110 pounds.

    Hi.

    I'm @ 19% and I eat anywhere between 1700 -2000 calories daily and weigh 121.6, with 3.5 lbs to my goal weight

    thanks! my goal is 14-15% but I just wanted to see how realistic that was. I don't want to starve, I enjoy eating more calories and not having that unsatisfied feeling.
