5'5/6 ladies how much do YOU eat?

Age - 34
Height - 5ft, 5 1/2in
SW - 272-ish
CW - low 260's (I'm making a conscious effort to stay off the scale except for Thursday mornings)
GW - 170's, for now - I'll reassess at that point
Calories - 1800-ish net

Exercise right now mostly consists of walking the neighborhood (getting over a knee injury)

5'5
133lbs
Anywhere from 200-3000 depending on how I feel.

5'6"
157
1500 average "net" calories

eta: 47 years old

SW: 275
CW: 167
GW: 140ish/size 6
Height: 5'6"

I eat 1200/day & don't eat back exercise calories, but I do have the occasional splurge day. 1200 may not sound like a lot, but I eat so much lettuce/fresh veggies that sometimes I have trouble getting to 1200.

Good luck!

Height: 5'5

Starting weight: 89kg (originally, 82kg this time around)
Current weight: 76.5kg
Goal weight: 63kg
Goal calories: 1620kCal

I tend to end up eating somewhere around 1800 calories most days to try to balance out exercise and keep my net above 1200; some workout days I eat 2000+.

5 foot 5. I am 11 stone 2 (156 lbs). My goal weight is 148 lbs at the moment (that should get me down to 20 % bodyfat) I eat between 1800 and 2000 cals per day. I lift heavy 3 times per week and cycle everywhere. I also run when I can and am training for a triathlon in the summer. My bodyfat % is more important to me than the scale number.

I am 38 years old.

Total Calories per Day 2300

I lost my weight at about 1350-1600 plus exercise calories, or a total of 1700-2000+. About 6 months ago or so, I switched to eating based on my estimated TDEE instead of bouncing between high days when I exercise and low days when I rest. I'm much happier that way. Exercise is typically running 3x a week and lifting weights 2-3x a week. Sometimes I switch that around and lift more than I run, depending on how cooperative the weather is. If the weather's nice, I'd rather go outside and run while I can. This week, it's going to be colder than I like, so I'll probably do more weights.

5'6", 30 years old, started around 210 (oh my god....) and currently around 165.

I wear a size 8 in pants/skirts - I am heavy but not that fat. I am currently experimenting with 2100 to lose slowly. I maintain on around 2400, roughly.

I just strength train 3-4x a week (barbell compounds) and that's kinda it. But I do walk a lot more than some people since I usually walk to lunch and coffee and stuff, but have a desk job otherwise.

I have also maintained on 1850 - feeling generally tired and having crappy exercise sessions. I recommend people try eating more before they assume they need less

GW: 125

About 1200 - 1300 calories/day. I exercise about 6 days a week, but not intensely. I am 53 years old, so I do not burn calories nearly as quickly as when I was young. Increasing my cardio exercise and also doing weights to increase my muscle mass should help me to lose weight more quickly than I am now.

5'6 132, up to 2600 a day.. I walk at work for about 90mins a day run up stairs for about 40 mins a day and do a combat dvd 6 days a week (usually before work)... 32 now 33yrs old on Monday :bigsmile:

You are a beast (the good kind) lol.

whats your current weight and how many calories do you consume daily?

cw: 129
lw: 120

To maintain 120 I net 1700 (ate back exercise calories). I was trying to gain and now I'm in the eat whenever I want it'll eventually come off I'm not afraid of a number anymore phase.

Total calories around 1200.

I'm 42, 5'5", and currently weight 117 lbs. My goal weight was 120 lbs, but I'm still trying to figure out maintenance. I think I'm stabilizing at this point. I typically eat ~1600-1900 calories per day depending on whether I exercise (I usually exercise 4-5 days per week).

I lose at 1200 daily calories and I eat my exercise calories back. Cardio at least 3 times a week

CW: 152 lbs
GW 140 lbs

I have my goal set to 1800 right now. On hard workout days I'll try to get at least 2000 so I don't net anything lower than my BMR (1480 ish) but sometimes with my work schedule it just doesn't happen. I just started P90X this past week though so I'll probably be upping my calories soon and trying to get more protein. Lost about 40 lbs since Jan 2012.
