I'm 5'7" and net 1050 6days a week and 2300 one day a week. (1220 daily average).
Going to do maintenance to gain muscle since I'm skinny enough, but curious about others intake.

~1800-2300; maintaining 125-130 lbs for 2.5 years. Body fat somewhere around 22%.
I've been lifting moderate weights off & on (more off because of injury). I lost my weight at 1700-2000, with moderate circuits/cardio 3x/week (didn't look at net calories).0 -
Thats incredible you could eat so well and still lose weight!0

Quite a lot of people have had similar experiences! I believe there's a group here called 'eat more to lose more'.
(I used another site, for my weight loss.)
I found that a very slight deficit from food, combined with regular activity, was easy to live with - had tons of energy for everything in life. The days I went as low as even 1600 were hard for me, so I didn't try it for long0 -

You could be eating much more at 5'7". You are also aiming for a very low weight - 48kg at that height gives you a BMI of around 16.5. This is unhealthy and potentially dangerous.0 -
I'm 5'8" and on 1320 a day...but have a fair amount to lose!0
-
Oh theres a group? Okay I'll check it.
I don't want to lose more weight, just tone up. (i.e. Eat more, lift more)0 -
I eat 1400 plus exercise calories. My BMI is 29.0
-
1718 and my bmi is 32.9. Honestly I think its bs though because I wear a size 12 and I am 210lbs. I have some serious muscles going on under that layer of fat too. haha. I work out 6 days a week burning around 1000+ HRM calories a day.
I still want to lose 40lbs to reach my first goal weight of 170. I should*** be in a size 8-10 jean then.0 -
I eat 1300-1400 plus exercise calories and have been steadily losing about 1 lb a week. BMI now 24.1. Started at MFP's 1200 but felt that was too low so upped it after a couple of weeks.0

2600 for maintenance! I am weighing in at 155 lbs.0

Try to net 1690 on non-exercise days. I net a lot less on exercise days (maybe between 1000-1400, depending on how much exercise I've done) but my actual intake on those days tends to hit 1900, sometimes a lot more (particularly Sundays when I burn 1000 calories!)0

I'm 5'8 and eat between 1700 and 1800 a day - losing about a pound a week. Burn an extra 2500 or so calories a week running.0

I'm 5ft 7,
I've just started on 1730cals a day averaged out over the week (exercise 3x a week). I was eating 1410 a day and found that I wasn't losing weight and didn't eat back my exercise gains.0 -
I'm 5'9". I just upped my cals from 1800 to 2000/day (not eating exercise cals back) because I was losing faster than I wanted.0
-
1200 for me im 5.6
Planning to up it when I start lifting0 -
I'm still at the beginning of my journey - but I'm averaging about 1500 calories a day. I'm waiting for the nice weather (and opening of our pool) to start exercising, at which point the plan is to not eat the exercise cals back, but we'll see. I've been losing exactly the way I would like 1-1.5 per week0

I find this interesting, I am 5'8" weigh 206lb and am a size 16/18. Are you talking British 12 or American.0 -
I am at 1775, lowest ever was 1586 before I realized my BMR is about 1650. BF% is 26.70 at 182lbs. Maintnance is around 2300 for me right now. I also do eat back.0

Hi, I'm 5'7", I eat at 1520 a day, muscle class twice a week, cardio three times a week (hopefully). I am losing about 3/4 lb every two weeks. Firming up and losing lbs slowly but surely. I am at 151, down to 149 as of today(!), under 150 for the first time in 5 years. Not for lack of trying!0
