    I AGREE!! I've actually stopped looking at people's food diaries because it frustrates me. I hardly am ever under my calorie goal and if i am its by maybe up to 100 cals at absolute most.
    I am big into eating and have been trying to tailor my "delicious foods" to make them "healthy and delicious". I really can't skimp on food, I am Italian and I love it way too much!
    Thanks for posting!

    I am not comfortable congratulating people with a "great day" when eating 900 calories a day so if that is what you are looking for in a friend, please move on. My goal is to be healthy and fit more than skinny or thin.

    I love this so much.

    Height 5'9.5"

    I lift 3-4 times a week and eat 1600-1800 calories/day.

    Anyone can feel free to add me too! It bothers me when I see people eating pretty much nothing too, cause I'm here like "yeah I am eating cottage cheese, but it fits in my calorie goal!" :)

    Age: 26
    Starting weight: 216
    Current weight: 202
    Goal weight: Initial goal is 155, and if I'm not happy there it'll be 135-145. Just depends on how I feel at those weights.

    I beg to differ... being a woman that was 240 at my heaviest weight... they want me to consume 1600 calories a day... jsut as hard as it is for people to stop eating.. its hard for me to eat all those calories... and being that i work out 6 days a week it adds to what im suppose to be eating.. dammed if u do.. dammed if u dont.. i dont think its about starving yourself.. i eat 6 times a day... just cuz i eat healthy doesent mean im starving.. i think its a bit critical!!!!

    Love it! I eat like a horse! I have the same problem with the low cal friends. I eat healthy (ish) food and lots of it. I'm gonna eat gravy fries sometimes and I'm cool with that. I lift, I run, I do yoga, I use cardio machines and I eat 1700+, it all works out. Feel free to add me if you want.

    With my exercise included in....I get to eat 1876 calories a day. I eat healthy, but I also don't deprive myself of things I crave.....just try to use moderation. :)

    I don't think the OP or anyone on this thread wanted o offend anyone that doesn't reach their calorie goal... I actually had to learn to reach it myself. But she as well as others are just searching for like minded people to be better at supporting each other.

    I'm hoping to be skinny, healthy, and fit. I'm have an image in mind and I plan to get there, but it won't be by starving myself, that's for sure. I love eating too much. Haha. Feel free to add me!

    Hi Beth,

    Great letter. I want friends like that too. In a successful stint at WW, years ago, I learned you can't starve. I'm in it for the long haul and want all my friends here to know that if I come out at the end of the day with calories to spare, it's by only a few, OR I want to use them the next day for a special event. That kind of thing.

    I love healthy, whole foods. My food weakness, that put weight on me, was from indulging in pastry too often over time. Plus I started allowing myself too much of the healthy fats, nuts, etc.. that are truly healthy only in small amounts. For that reason it's essential that I be on a slow, long-term weight loss path--to re-habituate myself to reasonable portions.

    I'm just starting at MFP. Today is my 3rd day. I am looking for interesting, committed friends here. Add me if you'd like.

    -Bebe

    Hey guys! I LOVE to eat. I'm 34 years old, 5' 2" and a mother to 1. MFP and Loseit.com suggest I consume around 1200 a day to reach my goal. I'm at a stand still right now...as a matter if fact, I've gained a few pounds. Friends tell me it's because I'm doing more strength training instead of pure cardio. I'm not sure that's it. I'm beginning to wonder if that 1200 cals is playing into it somehow.

    I'd love to connect with some of you who have a more balanced diet and, as the topic suggests, actually eat!

    I was under 1600 at first. Then I begun lifting and I gained mostly muscle weight (no inches) and I eat 2000-2500, even more sometimes. It feels nice to eat real dinners. Since I am foreign I have no love or appreciation for junk food, but enormous interest in "real" food. It is all working out well because my weight training is keeping everything in balance. Once I begin cutting for the summer things might change though. Anyone can add me if they like :)

    I'm trying out 1290 a day, but I'm never under 1200. I eat bacon and cheese, and I see fat as a nutrient to be eaten in reasonable quantities and not something to fear. I go over if I need to, this girl's eating if she's hungry. I do not compliment diaries of 800 calories of junk food, ever. And when I exercise, I eat those calories, often in the form of bacon or cheese.
