    5"3, 2500 cals per day minimum

    In maintenance or bulking? Or do you just do a lot of higher endurance activity to account for a much higher TDEE/maintenance needs? I'm heavier than you and that's closer to maintenance for me with 5hrs of exercise a week! You must be quite active overall for needs to be this high if you are on a healthy deficit for fat loss.

    I find eating this many calories works best for me. I do minimal exercise during the week. Trying to lose body fat, but I stick to a low fat diet. For me, eating a lot of fat does not help me lose fat! To each their own, I just find eating 2000+ whole calories per day gives optimal energy!

    Do you follow a raw food diet or a raw till 4 regularly? I'm trying to start, but it's been really difficult!

    M, 21, 5'6" - 1400 calories most days, while sedentary. Some days I come in slightly under. Don't shoot me though, that's a 1000 calorie deficit, I eat high protein and take a MV. I'll eat more when the weather is comfortable enough for me to start exercising.

    I did for about a month back in March, and never felt better! I had so much energy, and literally felt amazing. Then I stopped, went back to feeling terrible and am trying yo start again! I am trying to ease into it this time so I don't lose motivation

    5:10". Shoot for 2200 cal a day but don't get upset if it goes up to 2500. No idea on GW but I am shooting for 25% BF and then 22% BF. No idea what my weight will be at that point. I plan on having the BF checked by ultra sound every 3 months.

    My best guess will be around 225lbs though.

    I have a weekly average, which evens out to 1200-1300 a day (weekends are intentionally higher, so Monday and Tuesday are lower to account for that). 5'5

    5"5 female 181lbs and aiming for 1600cals a day but anywhere between 1250-1500cals a day at the moment, due to not much appetite due to medication. I eat exercise calories back (most of them!)
