    Calories - 1490
    Fat - 50
    Sugar - 30

    I don't worry about carbs, but they are on my food diary home page. I never go over on carbs, so not a big deal. I'm supposed to get 50 grams of fat per day, but I try to keep it around 35 g.... And I hardly ever get anywhere near 1490 calories... Which is probably bad, but I average around 1200 a day.... Hm... Thanks for posting this, made me realize I really need to try and follow MFP's allowances. I don't want to screw up my metabolism or anything.

    1200 but i try to eat a bit under. I don't eat any of my working out cals. I try not to eat much fat and carbs but I do tend to eat way more protein then it wants me to

    1680 net calories.

    That's all I'm focused on right now, trying to stay under calories and not worrying as much about fat/carbs/sodium. I know it's not ideal but I have to find what works for me and this is what works so far. If it stops working, I'll change it up.

    I only focus on calories and protein.

    My daily Calories: 1200

    My daily protein goal is 60-90 grams and I usually average about 80.

    Calories: 1980 (1lb/week recommendation by MFP, I've actually been losing 1.5 - 2 lbs/wk)
    Carbs: 272
    Fat: 66
    Protein: 74

    I also track Fiber and Sodium:

    Fiber: 23
    Sodium: 2500

    The only one I usually go over on is sodium and I have to work on that. I usually am pretty on-target with most other categories, and in fact have been going a bit over (good) on fiber and protein.

    My cals are higher than most here, but I'm a guy (one of few here it seems) and I'm still on the plus side of 220 lbs...my maintenance number when I get where I want to be will probably be right around this number sans exercise.
