2200 I also lift weight for 35-50 minutes everyday and run 2 miles three times a week. So far I have not been hungry even when I don't eat into my exercise calories. Really like the sight, never kept a food diary before, this is so simple and easy to use its GREAT!

oh Banks, the things I could do with your calories! :laugh:

2850 to 3150 depending on the day.

but I'm doing muscle building right now so I'm kind of a special case.

In a week I start my lean phase where I will be at about 2450 a day for 3 weeks or so.
my maintenance is 2750.

HA! it's actually difficult to eat 3000 healthy calories, I struggle with it every day. Sometimes I think I should just go back to 2100 just cuz it's easier to think up that many calories worth of food. My wife HATES when I mention my calories, because she's at 1650 and always hungry.

1200. i torch a lot of calories so i eat anywhere from 1500-1900.

TheMotherAwesome

1310 to lose a pound a week.

As someone who is historically used to eating about 700 calories more than that, it's proving to be a bit of a challenge! In the two days that I've really been tracking, I was over by 70 one day and *just* under by 37 the other. But I am ready for the lifestyle change and am looking forward to the results - both looks-wise and health-wise. :happy:

I am set for 1200 per day for 2 lb weight loss per week, but I never quite get more than 8-900 calories everyday. I am drinking more water and feel stuffed and just don't want to eat anymore.. Very little exercise.. Is this good or not?

And try my hardest not to eat my exercise calories

bebhinn

When I started losing I was at about 1950ish/day

Now I"m at about 1510 per MFP but I often wonder if thats a bit too low :S

ka_42

1200. With exercise I add about 450 six days a week.

LittleSpy

I'm set at 1350 base to lose 1.5#/week.
Then I eat 25-50% or so of my exercise calories which usually puts me at 1450-1600.

I lost really steadily on 1200 cals for about 4 months but I had to start eating more to break through these plateaus (oh yeah, 2 of them) I've been struggling with over the last 2 months or so.

jewelinvic

1490 for me :drinker:

lilchino4af

1420 at the moment w/no exercise; can get up to 2000 w/exercise
