    Well I'd definitely gain eating 2000+. I don't have much muscle mass at all (which I'm working on). In fact when I was at my fattest I think I was eating about 2500 a day.

    Anywhere from 1000 to 1500 can be fine for me, & i won't be starving. I'm eating anywhere between those two numbers each day right now and doing 30 minutes of cardio and some strength training.

    There's no good reason for an active, young female to eat less than 1500 calories a day. NONE. (okay barring a thyroid disfunction or disorder of the endocrine system).
