[Guys only] How many calories are you eating a day?
Replies
-
I lift weights 3 times per week... I play hockey once or twice a week... I am at 2100 per day and dont go over even on the days I am at the gym... I lost alot in the first 5 months(60lbs) however the last two months I have lost very little...0

1800 to 2000 a day - work out 6 days a week.0

22200

I'm around 2100-2300 (Training days, Rest days and Refeed days). I lift 5 days a week with 5 cardio sessions on top of that.
Currently cutting on a high carb, high protein and low fat flexible diet.
Are you cutting or bulking?
Right now, i'm trying to cut but also hitting up weights at the same time so when I am cut, i'll be big enough to not look like a twig. Once i'm down enough, i'll likely bulk up a bit.0 -
A bit erratic here, just gone on a +1lb/week plan, target is 2410 cals but struggling to hit that most days and eat (ok drink) exercise calories back.0

Aiming for net 2000, tends to be between 2300 and 2800 gross.
Mix of bodyweight exercises, free weights, machines and cardio.
Complicated a bit by having two days a week at only 600 calories.
I'm 52, 5'9" and 174lbs. Maintaining not losing.0 -
2300 on a cut so its low. Not including exercise cals.0

Assuming you're lifting heavy and getting plenty of protein, you should be able to maintain lean mass on a deficit (although you certainly won't be gaining!)
I'm doing a very low calorie (1000/day plus weekly refeed) protein-sparing moderate fast and maintaining my lifts and lean mass. Not that I'd recommend eating that low.0 -
2100 - 2300...my exercise is included in my TDEE calculation.0

i try to eat 1800 and burn 500 5 times a week, then eat 2000 1 day and 3000 the other0
-
I'm at about 2250. Still trying to figure out my exact maintenance. I eat back my calories on work days since my job is physical, at times.0

About 2750, currently bulking. 5'7" 1630

5'8" 178# 1900-2000cals net. Been droppin lbs pretty good.0

My cap is 2200. 16/8 fast/feed everyday. Heavy lifting 3x per week. 1 sprint day. Lifting days I hit cap or go over no more than 100 and rest I like to come out under about 100 or so. I'm 6'1, 185lbs. This is a slow cut for me, extremely close to maintenance.0

Wow, some of you guys eat so little calories!! I bumped up my calories from 1500 before Christmas, to 1800 (been doing that for the last 4 weeks) and I have been losing 1.3 pounds on average per week. And I'm a girl and only 5'4 and 146 pounds with about 20 more to lose.0

I just started the T Insanity Program 4 days ago and its recommended I eat 2700 calories.....Thats about a 1000 more then I usually do. That is with the calorie burn already calculated in and I still think thats high for me. Im regularly consuming 2000 to 2300 daily and struggle to get to 2700........Even with a shake0
