Heyyy fellow crossfitters!!

I'm curious as to how many calories you all eat and if you're paleo or not... also your stats and goals... i dont know if im consuming the right amount is all :)

I'll start!!
5'4
140 lbs
Paleo, aim for 1500-1800/day
Crossfit 4-5x week
Goal- Lose ~10 lbs but more importantly gain muscle...scale is less important

    I'm 5'4"
    145-ish
    Mostly paleo (currently about half way through the Whole30)
    I eat around 1800 cals a day (usually more on crossfit days)
    Crossfit 3-4 times a week
    My main goal is to increase strength and lower my bf %, but I'm also only 5 lbs or so from my ultimate goal weight, so I would love to lose a little too.

    Listen, people think about this stuff way to much. As long as your eating clean (Paleo) and training mean...then eat when you're hungry...don't eat when you're not hungry. You will see results. Too many look into more than it is.

    Hi there,

    47 year old man.
    5'11
    184

    Crossfit 2 days on, 1 day off.
    Mixed with 5 x 5 weight training 3 days a week, surfing and trail running whenever.

    Not Paleo at all, but do cook all our own meals from fresh (but not "Grass fed" ingredients).
    Call it an opportunistic Mediterranean diet really.

    If the supermarket is doing chicken or steak at half price, guess what we're having for dinner!

    Limit my cals to 2300, sometimes under, sometimes over. Drink lots of wine, eat chocolate and cheese, but not much bread or potatoes.

    Lost about 25 lbs in the last 3 months, and it's not a hardship at all.

    It IS different when you're my age though.
    I had to cut the intake, just exercising didn't work for me.

    Goal is to lose the last vestiges of my Moobs. They're basically pre-teen now.

    33 yo male
    6' 236 lbs fully dressed don't know actual weight since I keep no scales at home.
    CF 3-5 days a week

    I don't Paleo,.........yet
    I do a low-cal(1650 max) usually around 1400cal.
    That's not many calories but I guess I had enough stored up to use.
    Since I've started counting cals and CF I am not nearly as tired as I used to be.
    Oh yeah, I quit drinking Diet DP cold turkey. Just water, UnSweet tea, water,Powerade Zeroes,and water
    I do try to keep carbs at 100 or less.
    Still got a ways to go, but headed in the right direction.
