shortie555

hi guys! just wanted to know if any of you shorties out there (im 5ft) eat/need 2000 or more to maintain your weight? ive been averaging about 2100-2200 cals and i am maintaining. i'm also lifting weights about 3 times a week. just wanted to see if anyone else is in the same boat. thanks so much!

I'm also 5'0 and eat roughly 1800 for maintenance. I do 20 minutes of cardio and lift 4 days per week, alternating between arms and legs/abs. Some days I eat more, depending on whether I'm still hungry. I'm hoping to gain a few pounds of muscle though, so I'm slowly upping those calories!
