    1680 daily, I'm in an active job though. I'm 5'3.5" tall. I get results too but sadly it's not linear. :D

    When I'm not pregnant--around 1600-1700 cals on rest days. Around 2000-2200 on heavy workout days. It's hard to eat back all my exercise calories...but I listen to my body and eat when I'm hungry. I also have my macros set to carbs 40%/protein 30%/fat 30%. And I watch my sodium.

    Oh, yeah, I'm 5'5". And my pre-pregnant weight was 142.

    My goal is 1520 each day. I'm 5ft 9 and exercise 2-3 times per week.
    I only eat my exercise calories if I am realy hungry but rarely go over my allowance.
    I'm losing wieght slowly but this suits me as so no food is off limits so long as I track it and it fits into my daily allowance.

    1680...I was doing 1200 but it wasnt enough i was feeling drained all the time..so lowered my weightloss goal and upped my calories. I lost the first half of my weight before I came here, on higher calories than that so I am hopeful it will work. I am 5'6 and currently at 237...I went from 315lbs to 220 a few years back on 2000 cals a day.

    I eat about ~1600-1700 calories a day RIGHT NOW...that's until I return to my "happy weight." After that I'll be eating 1900-2000. I'm only 4'11 and 24.

    I eat 1900-2000 calories a day - a 20% reduction of my average TDEE.

    I'm 5'6", currently 188lbs. I do strength training 3 days a week, and some cardio 2-3 days a week.

    Tons of success at this calorie goal!! You can eat and lose weight :)

    My goal is 1600 without exercise, 1900 with. I always try to get as close to that goal as possible without going over.

    I am 5'8" and currently have MFP giving me 1390 a day. I eat this plus about half my exercise calories. It was set on 1,200 a day and about 6 or 7 weeks ago, I started gaining and losing the same 2 pounds over and over. I increased to 1390 about three weeks ago and have lost 2 pounds a week.
