I look to a lot of my friends diary's as examples and ideas of what I should be doing (I'm a fairly good mimic) but all of them are on like 1500 calorie diets.

Does anyone have a calorie intake of 2000+ I could please veiw?

Thank you!

    I am in awe. How to lose weight eating 2,000 cal/day? I think that's over my maintenance! :-O

    Exercise. That, coupled with having a low bodyfat% and decent lean mass.

    This depends on a lot of factors of course. Personally I'm 30+ pounds from my goal, so just by comparative weight to people lighter than me, i can eat more. But mainly it's because I am also increasingly more active, and have learned that I need to give my body enough fuel for it to do what I'm asking of it.

    Mine is open to friends, add me and you can view it. I warn you, though, I don't eat the typical "diet food". I eat regular foods and use portion control. I've had people ask me how I lose weight eating steak and mac and cheese, and I haven't eaten a single salad since I started lol. I'm 45 pounds down so far. Good luck to you!

    I stay well over 2000 on a daily basis and my diary is open to everyone. I do a bit of everything, I keep my breakfasts and lunches fairly standard and make home cooked dinners, or eat out for dinners, or like last night, stuff myself with taco bell tacos because I'm hungry but still manage to have a pretty good day.

    Mine's open. Right now I'm just shy of 2000 but if you look back a couple of months I was eating close to 3K (trying to bulk).

    *I hate having to put this disclaimer in, but last weekend was not my best as I was out of town visiting my parents + I have been EXTREMELY hungry (upcoming lady time) the past week or so. Sorry, guys. :flowerforyou:

    You can look at mine if you want. It is open. I've been on 2,000 for quite a while. Just be prepared. I do eat still eat quite a lot of sweets - working on it.

    I used to think that too. In fact, I thought 1300 or 1400 was my maintenance.

    Exercise over a long period of time does raise your metabolism. Smaller you burn less calories in an exercise session than when bigger,,but overall I do seem to be able to eat more as I work through finding maintenance. If I was not exercising I believe my maintenance would be about 1500-1600, though I will have to use an online calculator to figure it out.

    In my experience, it's so much better eating this way too. I've let all "diet" foods go. I admit I do eat Dannon light and fit yogurt, but it's because I LOVE it so darned much! Those flavors are killer! Same with my coconut milk dairy frozen desert with no added sugar-that means fruit sugar added and not granulated. I love the taste of the fruit sugar so much better than the granulated.

    In addition to what others have said, height is also relevant here as well. I should have mentioned it in my original comment, but I am 6'2". According to a few BMR/TDEE calculators, even when I reach my goal weight, my TDEE (figuring 3x week exercising once I get to maintenance, but likely more often than that) will still be over 2,300 cals. I'm +/- 57 lbs. from my goal weight (down 45 lbs. so far).

    Mine's open, and I average about 2150. I'm trying to gain at the moment, but even when I start to cut I think I'll only have to drop down to 1800-1900. I would've bet money that maintenence for me was around 1400, and I'd been eating there for years, but I didn't start gaining until I was over 2000.

    I think mine is open, and I eat around that. I net around 1700. Have been losing about 0.5 lb/week for several months and am getting ready to transition to maintenance. I'm trying to eat more protein and I don't eat as many fruits/vegetables as I should. I have wine and chocolate almost every day.

    Exactly. But you're eating it because you want to, rather than forcing yourself to eat something you don't like because it's perceived as "diet food". If you like it and its working, more power to you. Believe me when I say if I tried to eat things I hate to lose weight, I'd still be 335 pounds. Good luck to you! :D
