    Between 1300 and 1900 depending on my work out schedule. Right now I am on injured reserve (pulled something in my leg and have to take 4 to 5 days off completely) so I am trying to keep it closer to 1300.

    I'm 129 (5'4)

    I am aiming for 1300, but I feel like I'm getting into a rut so I might cut it back a little bit. I've eaten over my calories two days in a row now and I think it's (weirdly) making me more hungry. Either that or I am just going through a bit of an emotional upheaval and it's affecting my hunger.

    Hey I have been trying to figure this out too. I have been at it for about 8 weeks now and dropped 12 pounds the first 6. my goal is set to 1680 and I normal eat closer to 1700-1900. I am a male 6' tall and 242 pounds 21 years old. I have a retail job part time 3 or 4 days a week that I walk to 3.3 miles. other than that I don't move that much other than to walk to class and the grocery store. I keep worrying that I am not eating enough calories but I also have been feeling great and the original OMFG I AM SO HUNGRY feeling has gone away. anyways I am set at sedentary right now kinda wondering if I should bump it to lightly active and eat more.

    Female, 154/155lbs. 5'8. Maintenance is somewhere 2600-3000 I'd say (haven't logged intake regularly in a while) but getting back into logging at a goal of ~2400 a day. Lifting weights 4x a week.

    My total intake over the last 30 days was 2338/day. 46 year old male, 5' 10", 158 lb. or so; in the last month I have bicycled 591 miles, averaging about 1.5 hours/day. (We have had great weather!)

    ETA: I am probably on my bike 5-6 days a week, a mixture of long and short rides; that 1.5 hours is an average. Many of my rides are 2-4 hours, and some are more like 20 minutes (commuting, for example).

    5'4" 163lbs and usually just under 1500 calories. I cycle calories so sometimes it is more, other days it is less. I'm losing half a pound per week and very happy with that.

    It's interesting to see what everyone is doing :smile: I'm a 5'8" female and I eat between 1800 - 2500 a day, anything less than 1800 and I feel awful! It's usually around 2000 but if I have a cheat day (which has been known to run into the 4000s :embarassed: ) I will drop it down to 1,800 for a few days.

    1450ish - I've decided not to adhere to that very strictly. I'm 5'3" and 97lbs, on days that I'm more active I tend to disregard the calorie count.

    38 yo, 5'6", ~149lbs (no scale ATM)

    I average 1500-1550cals/day. Strength training 3-4 times/week, HIIT cardio or light jog 2-3 days/ week. Puts me around 0.7lbs/week loss.

    5'0", 144lbs, Desk job toddler mom (active nights and weekends!) still breastfeeding heavily. 1500 - 1800 (1500 would be my goal without BF, so I give myself 300 more for the amount of BF I do). I tried 1500, and I was HUNGRY all the time. 1800 keeps me perfectly satisfied without overeating, and I dropped a ton of weigh this week (1st week). Apparently, seeing how little I eat now at 1800 calories, I must have been packing it on calorie wise before I started tracking, and I was maintaining the same weight, so hopefully this helps me get where I need to be.

    It's great when you can use your job as part of your exercise routine, isn't it?
    I'm a postman too.
    Remember. If your daily exercise burns more calories than you eat, then your body will not do what you want it to do.
    Hence the term Balanced Diet....
