I am at 1200.
I might change my plan to only lose 1lb instead of 2lb since I am starving lately!
What are you guys at?

    I am at 1460 a day. I often eat more than that because of exercise. Though I rarely go over.

    If you only have a few pounds to lose you should probably go for 1 pound a week at most. 1200 calories is really low, especially for a male.

    I try to eat to a point that my "net" calories are around 1200-1300. Sometimes I go over and sometimes I go waay under like 900 calories or 800 calories and its just something that happens, but I'm not really sure how many calories are appropriate anyway, the calories mfp calculates for me to lose 2lbs a week is 1200 but I'm not losing but a couple of oz.

    I eat between 1200-2000, but usually eat around 1800 calories. I'm also working out six days a week, otherwise I would prolly eat about 1500.

    I'm at 1300 and by the time dinner comes around, sometimes I feel so limited as to what's left to eat, so I lowered my breakfast & lunch calories. However, I would never up my calories because it's a life change I've chosen. 1200 is the minimum anyone can have so if you're starving, you might want to up it a bit. You'll get used to it

    Although on the one day a week I don't exercise, I find it hard sticking to just 1200.
