    Anywhere from 1600 to 1900 on average. Sometimes it's less on days I don't work out. I would be super hungry on just 1200 a day. But if it works for you and doesn't make you grumpy go for it lol.

    I`m aiming at 2000 a day. Shoud be doing 1900 but then I felt hungry.
    My target is still 5-9kg lower, but as I work out at the same time I know I might not reach this. However the fat goes away in a visible way so I think it`s fine.
    Usually Ieat between 2500-3500 a day depending on the day. Sometimes I loose control and then even with exercises I can exceed my net target by up to 1000 cal.

    @DalaMutar this is because your metabolism was slowed down. try doing more cardio and you will probably feel hungry with the ammount you mentioned after 1-2 weeks. I also had a time when I was unable to reach more than 1800 andI pushed a lot of junk food to reach even that feeling full all the time. Now I feel my sugar levels drop when I don`t eat every 4-5h duing the day and as mentiond above I do eat a lot more than 2000 now without problems

    @xjckemx walking is also an exercise where you burn calories. so insteadof calling someone you can always ask the person to go for a walk to chat ;)
