Any lower than that and I don't feel satiated and am prone to binging.0 -

Intake: 1440 (and then I also eat back about half of the calories burned from exercise)
Macros: I don't watch this too closely but I'm probably like Martina...60% carbs / 25% fat / 15% protein
I used to be a vegetarian, so my protein sources are mostly legumes, white meat, or fish, and I also eat a lot of "good" fats - almonds, avocados, olives, etc.
I'm pretty happy with where I'm at, but when I tried to go to maintenance I put back on a few pounds. May just try to slowly up my calories after getting back below 115 (I've weighed around 110 for most of my life but put on 15lbs in grad school).0 -
