Is there anyone that eats more than 1200 calories a day??

Me.

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.

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

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.

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!

I eat BMR+ exercise calories

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

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.

I am on between 1400 - 1500 calories a day before working out and I eat most of my exercise calories back too

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.

Um yes. 1200 is actually far to low for most people, especially active people who aren't eating back their calories.

I'm 5'4" currently somewhere between 125-130. Even at my starting weight of 145, I was eating about 1300 a day. Considering most people are taller or weigh more than me, they will be eating more than that. Now I eat between 1400-1700 a day and usually. More on days I work out.

I am on a 1220 calorie a day limit. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies and there aren't many calories in there. I don't suffer because I'm actually eating stuff that does fill me up and I'm happier and more energetic because my metabolism is up from eating such clean foods. Yes, I do eat breads and pastas, but I cut back SOO much. About a month and a half ago I was eating over 2700 calories a day. I did a diet with someone (cut out all breads, pastas, potatoes, candy and soda) for two weeks and it was the best thing I've ever done. That was the only time I suffered.

Aim for 1320 and if I walk (3 times a week), I tend to eat those calories back simply bc Im hungry.

I typically do 1500-1700 a day. I tried dropping it to 1300, and I lost for about a week and a half, and then stopped completely. So I upped it again to 1600. On workout days, I eat almost all of my calories back because I don't have a HRM and I go by MFP calculations, which are typically too high.

I don't think I could ever stick to 1200 calories a day. I started out on 1500 a day until I joined here and realised I should have been eating closer to 1900 but with the weight lost that is now around 1700 a day but I manage to accrue another 3000 exercise calories per week too usually :-)
