What are your goal calories?

Since we are gastric bypass patients how many calories are you eating per day to loose regained weight? I notice this tool has me aiming for 1200 cals. I find myself eating less than that. Also, are you suppose to eat what you burn with exercise? I'm thinking that I shouldn't eat what I burned. I'm afraid to go to low because it says your body will go into starvation mode and store the fat.

I'm amazed that you gals are eating 1200 and staying under. I am barely managing to stay at 1600. However, I guess body size and height plays into this, even for us post-ops. I am 5'9" with a large frame. I'll let you know how this goes for me.
I do love logging my food intake here. The tools are great.
Let's all try to help each other, OK?

New to the group and glad to see this post. I was wondering the same thing. You can't ask a question like this on the main boards because people will jump all over the 1200 calorie goal. Most don't get that it's very different for post-wls people or just some people in general. I'm also set to 1200 and usually don't hit it. I'm 8 years post-op and also doing a 2 day a week fasting diet.0
