    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.

    My dietitian has me on 1300-1400, although she told me to try and shoot for 1260-1300. I am 5'0 and 162 currently.

    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!)

    I just reset my goals and it recommended 1200 (after being on 1330), but I custom upped it to 1300 for 0.8kg loss a week.

    Just adjusted for my daily walking/stair climbing. I'm 5ft. even and I may still stick to a 1300 calorie diet simply because I'd like to lose weight faster, but I won't feel guilty if I have a 1500 calorie day.
