Did you increase your calories with positive results?

When I started I believe I was eating around 1400 calories and that left me hungry. I workout a lot and of course wasn't eating enough. I've stalled out many a times. Overall in 2 years, I lost 60 pounds plus, but never knew how to do it the right way.

When I started the P90X challenge almost three months ago, I was told to eat 1700 and not eat any exercise calories...I disagreed, because I was starving.

About a month ago, a friend on here told me to do the numbers and found I needed 2300 calories for what workouts I was doing, ect. I tried it...and lost 3-5 lbs the first week and then 1-1.5 the next two weeks in a row. I made a few eating errors, with too much sodium and got up again...but back to it and losing again.

I think too many people on here are unhealthy eaters...1200 calories a day is not good for anyone. Why does the nutrition facts on many foods say based on a 2000 daily diet?
