1360 without exercise. usually 1500-1800 with exercise.0

Around 1300 - 1500 calories. I'm 5'2", 27 and I do brisk walking everyday for 45 mins. to an hour and hit the elliptical trainer and stair master everyday too. Starting weight: 138 lbs. current weight: 132.4 target weight: 107 or 110 lbs.0

MFP has me set up for 1330, so around there - it's much harder at the moment though! I try and work out a few hours a week.0
-
1200-1700, depends on the day and how hungry I am or whatever. My maintenance cals are 1600-1700.0
-
1200 calories a day, more if I exercise.0
-
I try to eat around 1200, but sometimes don't even come near it as I'm not very active, and don't get very hungry now that I'm eating more protein.0
-
Currently 2,750 but will probably be increasing this weekend.0
-
1200-1400 per day, i´m 174 cm, and i exersice about 1 hours 5-6 days a week, i think it´s working for me, im full of energy all day and never hungry0

About 1800-2000 when I'm in a deficit.
About 2500 when I'm maintaining.
I guess I should clarify that I'm 5'6", 29 years old. I currently weigh 184. I exercise 4-5 times a week, for 30-60 minutes at a time.0 -
My nutritionist told me I should eat 1600 per day so that is where I stay. Some days I don't even get that many - more like 1400. I work a part time retail job three nights a week and work out three nights a week.0

I am 6ft, 168lbs and on 2,000 a day. I lift 3x a week at least and starting spinning too.0
-
5'2 112 lb 32 yo; I've been maintaining since June and eat between 2000-2200 while cycling calories. I'm pretty active in that I lift 3 days a week, run 3-4 times a week and do 1-2 sessions of crossfit.0
-
I have a desk job, but do some kind of vigorous exercise every day. Usually 6+ hours a week of exercise.
I eat no less than 1500 calories a day, and frequently go up to 2500 calories several days a week.
5'7", 131(ish), 43 years old.0 -
Currently 1500 - 1800; will probably bump this up 1800-2000 in the new year as I am almost at my goal weight and I'll need the extra cals to put on muscle.
I exercise generally 6 times a week, 3 to 4 strength sessions and 3 to 4 runs (between 3 and 7 miles depending on what my body's saying on the day); throw in the yoga and pilates as well.0 -
My new focus is on muscle and I have been impressed from those that lift heavy plus eat so--I have my cals set at 2000 and may eat 200-300 more on workout days. I am 5'4" and currently 139 lbs.0

I was eating 1200 calories a day but got wise on MFP and have increased to 1600 a day. I plan to increase further up to 2000 (TDEE) and see if I can do that without gaining... Once there I plan to cut to 1700 and see if the weight starts coming off. It's all a guessing game but I've learned that I was getting no where fast eating at such a low calorie pace - 1200 was terrible and I'm so much happier being able to EAT!0
-
My normal calorie goal is to stick between 1800 and 1900. I ate over 4000 on Christmas and 3000 the day after, then 2100, so I am gradually getting back on track.
ETA: Forgot to add that I am lightly active. I have a desk job, and do a bit of light cardio 3-4 times a week, and I have two teenagers and a husband that I clean up after. My TDEE is 2550/day.0 -
1500 for a loss of 1.5lbs of FAT per week, will change that when I want to lose 15lbs.0
-
I try to keep my weekly net average around 1250 or 1300 per day. And I run/strength train/rock climb five or six days per week -- plus run around with two crazy dogs and walk a lot.
On Christmas I ate 3200 and the day after Christmas I had 1900. Now I'm back down to 1200 to balance it out.0 -
I eat about 1700-1800 calories a day and work out about 4 or 5 times a week.0
