MFP allows me 1730 per day (to lose .5lb/wk). I usually exercise 30-45 minutes at least 4-5 days a week. This usualy gives me 150-200 extra calories of which I almost always eat back some.

1200-1500, just depending on my day, how I feel, and whether or not I work out.

annette_15

1200-1400, im 5'1, 120lbs, getting pretty close to my goal so gonna start upping it again when I get to 115 or so . Very sedentary lifestyle, work out anywhere from 2-6 hrs a week

MFP is set at 1530 which I am like a lot better than what I used to do. I used to eat about 1200 which is too low. 1530 allows me to pick foods that are healthier, even if they have some extra calories. I try to exercise everyday and don't eat back any of the calories I burn

My nutritionist told me between 1300 to 1500 and I'm sticking to that! I'm usually in the 1400.

I usually exercise several days a week, 30-60 minutes, but have not been doing as much because of the holiday season, the terrible weather, and a recent injury (orthopedist said I have to rest 2 more weeks). At least I'm sticking to the healthy food and calorie deficit!

If I work out, I eat back my work out calories until I have a net of 1300.

1500 if I don't exercise that day. 1700-1800 if I do exercise that day.

I try to eat about 1500. I haven't been as on the job this last month as I should have been (especially now around Christmas, and we won't even celebrate Christmas till January 4-6 which drags it out so much!!) but I will be back on it on days I am not at my family's place, and immediately after we celebrate our Christmas. I haven't exercised as much as I would like either but I want to hit the gym 4-6 days a week.

1650 per MFP and I work out 5-6 times a week.

sm1zzle

It varies. I like to stay around 1500.

i eat anywhere between 1300 calories-1900 calories.
it depends on how hard i have worked out or how hungry i am.
i hike everyday burning around 500-600 calories within the day.
& i do some strength training.

lorenzoinlr

1,700-2,500 depending upon exercise targeting a loss of 1 lb per week. Looking forward to adding 500 calories when I reach maintenance.

twinmom430

I have MFP set up for me to lose 2 lbs a week, so I only get 1210, it's a struggle...and I walk at least 3 miles a day.....with a full time job and twin 3 year olds, I don't have time for much else.

SLRamirez2012

Usually about 1,500, on a normal day when I don't do too much, and I am moderately active.. on hard workout days, that can go up to 2,100 or more.

Oh and I'm 5'8" and weight 135lbs, with a body fat of 14.9%.

BigDnSW

Per my physician and nutritionalist, 1300-1500 a day...but healthy cals as this is about good nutrition as well for me. I have mobility issues, so I exercise when I can as often as I can...mostly walking, light weights from a chair, and my recumbent bike. I also like to chase my good looking wife of 33+ years around the house
