    Currently at 2400 but go as low as 1800 and over 3500 when trying to add more mass.

    Active 6 days a week with 5 days where I lift weights for 90-120 minutes plus basketball and indoor soccer.

    1200- I used to find it really difficult to reach 1200 but for the past couple of weeks i'm getting so much better (and feeling so much better for it too!) I'm quite active (not hitting the gym but I play a lot of sports and dance) although don't bother logging it 99% of the time.

    I eat about 1300 +/- 100. Height is 5ft 3in. When I hit my first goal I'm planning to increase to about 1500. I eat back most of my exercise calories.

    Height and current weight are important factors too.

    Ht: 5'8
    Wt: 170lbs
    Workouts: minimum of 3 lifting sessions per week, supplemented with yoga, bodyweight workouts and running, usually 5 workouts a week total
    Eating: 1600-2000, generally not tracking closely at least one day on the weekend, creating a deficit of 1lb/week
    Maintenance at Goal Weight (155): 2300-2500 cals.

    No more than 1800 cal/day plus exercise every other day burning between 550-600 calories I find it help tremendously with my gradual weight loss.

    I've been in maintenance mode for almost 2 years now and I average around 2400 cals/day..
    I'm 48, 5'6" tall, 140lbs, exercise 5-6x/week, and am pretty active in my daily life (cattle farmer and do all/most daily chores w/out use of powered equipment)..

    It really depends. On a non-exercise day, sometimes only 1000-1200 calories. Some other days I might eat 2500 calories, especially if I've gone for a long run that day or the day before. On average, I'd say I eat 1600-1700 cal/day while exercising 3 times per week.

    Also, I am 5'4" and 130-135 lbs.

    My TDEE is around 2750 so I currently eat around this (Christmas week being an exception - I've not logged..)

    On a cut I eat around 2500 and I'm shortly planning a bulk so will go up to 3000.


    I'm 5'8'', around 147lbs

    Cycle 5 hours per week
    Strength train 3 hours per week
    Hike on weekends

    1200-1500, as I'm trying to lose weight pretty quickly. I eat back the calories I burn from exercise, for the most part. Usually I'm hungry enough. :P
