How many calories do you eat a day?

Menoetius1

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?

AuddAlise

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

I've got mine set to 1660, but I generally eat anywhere between 1300 and 1800, depending on what exercise im doing that day

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.

Around 2300

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.

+/- 3200 daily. Been maintaining on that for 4 months now

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.

Haylz_ish

1460. I usually get hungry though so try to get some exercise in so I can eat those cals

sicchi

omg, 2000 + would be like a dream everyday, lol...
im at 1400.

RobynMWilson

I think changing it to lose 1lb is a GREAT idea. I think 1200 cals is too low for any adult who works out. I eat 2000 cals on workout days to maintain, 1700 on rest days. I'm 5'7", 136 and will be 40 next week...

im at 1400.

Lol you'd be amazed how many days I fall short of 2000cals and that's what I need on workout days...

aamberrr

If you're starving, I say up it. I have my MFP daily goal set at 1610. Usually I'm right around that number (so on workout days the actual food that goes into my mouth is usually around 1850-1900, net is around 1610), but if there's a day here or there that I'm especially hungry and I've worked out, sometimes I'll net up to 1800-1900.

Heather_Rider

Doctor supervised 1000 give or take 300.

invisibubble

I've got mine set for 1890 a day. I workout 4-6 hours a week. Thinking of upping it as I'm hungry still.

weevil66

Mine is at 1300 or so. I usually hit around that even though my log doesn't always reflect it. I forget sometimes to add a snack or something.

nangel4u

1660 calories but eat about 100 more calories a day sometimes!!!

kristenn1989
