3,000 currently.
2,200 when I am trying to lose0 -
If everyone is following MFPs suggested calorie intake, there are very few people eating only 1200 calories per day. 1200 is just the magic number MFP established to avoid "starvation mode".
MFP had me on 1200 losing 1 lb a week. I found I could go about 500 cals higher and still lose a lb a week.0 -
1300-1400....0

Your not alone-1650-2000:-) More on Sundays0

I eat around 1700, but I'm in maintenance so I could eat 2000-2100.0

I eat more sometimes depending on how much I've exercised, but I've been sticking around 1300-1400 every day for the past few weeks, and so far it's working pretty well. I feel a lot better because I'm not eating too much all at once anymore and getting that sluggish, sleepy feeling.0

I eat close to 3000.0

Im at 1790 and try to net 1500+ each day. I work out at least 30 minutes a day and burn 300-500 cals a day. Been losing about a lb a week, slow and steady, dropped 9 inches overall so far, and I think been on this site about 40-45 days!0

Don't know if it's my height but on a losing plan off 1 1/2 lbs a week mine is 1480. My Mum's come out at losing 1lb a week her in take was 1200 so would had to think if she set it higher.0

I eat more that 1200 calories a day most of the time.0

I was at 1300-1500 and exercising, but not losing anything. Had my metabolism tested and discovered that I needed to up my calories to 1850 as my net. Since doing that I am losing about a pound a week. Never thought I was eating too little to lose:noway:0

I'm at 1790... its hard to get that much in, especially on days that I burn 400. I'm trying to stay under 100 carbs because that is what seems to work.0

I eat 2180, that is with my activity calories included and I have been losing. I am just over 5ft 8, about a size 9 and muscular. I spent a year on MFP eating between 1200-1700 and rarely lost. Whatever I would lose I always gained right back. I lift 3x per week for about a half hour then walk about an hour 6 days a week, most weeks.
Its pretty awesome to be able to eat and lose weight!0 -
I am on between 1400 - 1500 calories a day before working out and I eat most of my exercise calories back too0
-
I'm around 1800 but I was around 1600 for most of my weight loss. good luck0
-
Up from 1200 to 1350...to 1400..now at 1500 and this is what feels best for me. I feel like I can eat well, be full without being miserable. It is a slow loss, but worth it b/c it's easier to maintain.0

MFP gives me 1880 for 1lb a week loss but I don't usually eat that much.0
