5'0 ladies: how many calories do u eat

I'm 4'11 and weigh 102lb and eat 1400 kcals a day, although I will have a few naughty overeating days here and there. Generally I don't weigh myself as I'm aiming to gain muscle, I just measure my waist/arms/hips once every couple if weeks. I work out 4 times a Week with a mixture of cardio, weight and now some insanity training chucked in for good measure. Don't stress about eating 1800, I was eating like that for a while n have found the old jeans getting a little tight so have reduced it to 1400.

I'm 5ft and one inch. For me it depends on the day. If I'm on a fasting day I'll do 500, that's twice a week. If I'm on a day off I try to only eat to maintenance (1840) and if it's a normal day I try and log about 1500.
I don't eat back my exercise calories which is why I try to eat to maintenance on some days because I know I need the fuel.

5'0 on the nose I eat between 1400-1600 calories a day and have been steadily losing.

I'm another 5 footer. MFP had me at 1200 calories but that is just too little food for me. I've manually bumped it to 1400 and stay ether under it or hit 1500. With exercise calories I can go up to 1900 but the most I eat is 1500.

As of today, 2000. But I lift, so, there's that.

I'm not quite 5'3", but that's easier to use than 5'2 3/4" everywhere. I weigh between 137 and 143. I bounce around that range and it doesn't bother me. I eat anywhere from 1400 to 1700 calories daily. My maintenance is 1630 on here. I can lose at 1400 if I'm up a few and want to drop. I run regularly, do step aerobics and yoga. Not doing much with strength training right now. I don't necessarily eat my exercise calories back daily, but I tend to relax about intake on the weekends and will sometimes eat closer to 2000 calories on Saturday. When I was actively losing, I found that eating probably about 85 to 90% of my calories back from exercise every day helped me to feel better and lose a little more steadily.

I'm about the same height, and I have lost almost 18 lbs on a 1,200 and eating some of my exercise calories back. But since I have just recently crossed my halfway mark, I've added 100 calories just coz I thought I will slowly bring myself up to my maintenance calories.

I am 5'1 and 139 pounds and I am around 1400-1500, plus I eat my fitness calories... so end up eating 1500 - 1700. I never dip below 1300 in a day (at least not yet). I have been losing 1/2 pound a week.

I can't eat so little as others... I get hungry!

I workout 3-5 days a week with cardio and weights. Plus I am a single Mom of a 4 year-old that keeps me on my toes and active

Depends if you're maintaining or losing weight. If you're quite short at just 5 foot then in order to lose weight you should probably eat 1200-1300 calories. If your starting weight is quite high you will be able to eat some more calories and still lose weight - perhaps 1400-1500. The lighter you get, the less calories you should eat to keep losing weight as your body won't need as much to function.

This is net, by the way, so eat 200 more per day if you are losing 200 to exercise each day.

5'0" about 120 lbs. My goal weight is 105 lbs and my calorie goal is about 1430. That's based on the IIFYM calculator and working out 3 days a week. However, I haven't stuck to anything for longer than a week yet and I just started Strong Curves this week. Looking forward to seeing some real results and actually sticking to it for more than 5 days during the week. Damn Friday nights and football season!

I'm 5'2" and since I was eating 1200 and only doing cardio. I didnt see any changes for almost a month (not even a pound!)
so I started reading about fitness and decided to start lifting to complement my cardio, started eating much more protein daily, and set my new goal to 1300 calories per day.
So far I'm losing about 1/2 a pound weekly, which is perfect for a person with our height, as someone said before, since we have to go slowly in order to protect our metabolism.

GALS! Don't be afraid to lift! I love how my body is starting to get get 'compacted' and with a nice silhouette.

5'1", I'm set at 1200 a day on MFP. I try to stay within that goal on days I'm not active, but I always eat back calories from activity. If I don't I just feel so run down after a few days!

4'11" over here, close enough to 5'...right?

I eat a baseline of 1300-1400 calories a day, and usually eat back my exercise calories (although admittedly other than walking I am not very active). I lose an average of 10 pounds every 3 or so months, it seems.

I'm currently 5'2 at 200lbs and eat a 1200 calorie diet,

1240!
