Women - what's your calorie goal?

Currently, mine is 1400 calories per day. I upped it a little from 1270 because I was struggling so much to make that a realistic goal. Even 1400 seems tough; some days I can make it, other days I end up eating anywhere from 1500-2000 per day. The past few days have been good though, and I've been under my goal. I'm just trying to do the best I can, and to at least make healthier choices, even if I go over my goal.

My calorie goal lies on 1200 without exercise. I am 1.7 m tall. And yes, success indeed.

1439 each day.... then add the 400-700 cals I get extra from my run each day..... at the moment I'm still 111 in credit before I even get to my daily allowance. Should mention I'm 5'4" and 87kg

1600-2400 depending on if I exercise that day and how intense. I'm 5'8.

I'm 5'8 and I lost 28lb here doing 1200 per day plus walking everyday and it took me about 8 month and then I was maintaining at 1800 plus my walking till this July when I was on holidays for 2 weeks and eat and drank silly :laugh:

Now my daily goal is at 1400 I walk an hour everyday earning about 250 extra calories which I normally eat about half off. I don't log on a Saturyday and eat around 2500 that day but I try to be smart about it I, it works for me I am losing about 0.5lb a week and need to loss another 5lb to get back to maintainance hope this helps.

Im 5'6 calorie goal 1450 + exercise, I eat back 50% of the calories I burn, try to exercise 3x a week
Ive lost 12lbs so far my start weight was 196lbs and im starting to gain a little muscle now although I cant see it yet I can feel it.

I'm 164 cm (5'5")
My goal is 1200. Usually I don't reach it, though I exceeded it a couple of times.

1760, I'm 5' 3" and 137lbs. I run 3 days a week and do Bodyweight training 3 days a week. I lose about 1lb each week.

I'm 5'2" at 134lbs, my goal is 1700. I don't get to exercise much, I have a moderately active job and college life.
& After too long at 1200 and not losing, I get amazing results at 1700! (And more energy!)

Hi, I'm 33 years old, 172, 76kg and my calorie goal is 1690. I do sports 6 times a week. These consist of a variety of activities: 2 kettlebell trainings, 2 vinyasa flow yoga and for the other two days either do another yoga, the stairs or insanity dvd. I have 1 day off to rest when I don't do sports.

I counted it out for my daily intake using a very accurate daily calorie need equation. Here it is below:

Based on this equation my BRM is: (8.7*kg) + 829 = 1490 kcal (this is adjusted to age groups also)
This is my absolute minimum, that I cannot go below to keep up a healthy weight loss.

Now to adjust that to my activity level in a day: 1490 / 24 = 62kcal/hour
Sleep: 8*62 = 496 Kcal
Office work, normal low level activities: 15*1.4*62 = 1303 Kcal
Daily 1 hrs sport: 1*3.8*62= 223.2

Based on the above I need to consume 2022 Kcal daily to maintain my weight with my current activity level. To loose weight you can subtract about 10-25% so here I am: 1690 kcal/day.

I have just started to do this programme seriously with the sports over three weeks ago and lost 2.5 kg since, which is all fat. My body feels really toned up, flexible and I feel much better about myself. I have abs of steel that I've never had and very very importantly I don't starve!! I'm not hungry, I feel like I am eating plenty of food (doing the 5 portions).

My goal is set at 1500 cal daily. 1200 is too little and anything above 1500 I feel won't help me change so I thought it was a good starting point. Sometimes it's hard to eat that much, I'm usually way under or way over.

Hi, I'm 5' 7" and I have 1200 calories per day, working well so far :-)

Mine is 1450 and I'm not eating back on purpose. Just if I'm hungry I will eat a little bit more tgan usual. I have anyway the advantage of having dinner or lunch (Saturday) 40-45 minutes after the workout so is just a richer meal. I'm 166 cm tall.
My doc suggested me a diet of about 1300 kcal. But I was really hungry especially being on a balanced diet no on low carb.
Edited to add: I train 3-4 times a week, krav maga lessons for at least one hour and a half. I should add some in between strength training to avoid loosing any lean mass.

I am 211lbs and 5ft 4in. I was eating 1200 plus exercise calories and although losing I found it hard. I changed my settings to lose 1.5lbs instead of 2lbs and now eat 1330 and only eat exercise calories if I am hungry. Am losing at same pace as when eating 1200 and it's nice having a few extra calories to play with

I'm 5'3" and my daily calories are 1900. I'm currently 163lbs and I'm looking to get to around 132lbs, though that number isn't set in stone. I do krav maga training twice a week, and body weight training 3 times a week. I don't eat my exercise calories back unless it drops my net a lot below BMR, so it works out at about 1700 net per day. I've not put any food off-limits as long as it fits in my calories, and I don't beat myself up if I go a bit over one day. I try to eat healthily as much as possible, but I do have off days. Admittedly I'm not losing weight every week, but I'm feeling better, looking better and dropping dress sizes, which is way more important to me.
