    I'm 5' 7" and have a really small appetite, most days I struggle to get 1200 a day, even when I've been to the gym. I have my calories on MFP set to 1540 to lose 1lb a week, but I rarely meet or go over.

    I'm 5'5", 164 lbs (GW is 140). I'm eating about 1400 net calories per day. I had been eating more like 1600, but I've been going out a bit more recently, so I'm trying to eat less when I'm at home to compensate for the occasional night of drinking and 2 AM tacos :P It seems to be shaking out just fine for now.

    1200 is not sustainable for me - 1400 is about my limit, and even then, I've definitely been making the effort to be mindful of what I eat. Anything below 1400 and I'm just hungry, grumpy, and miserable. I've always had a good appetite, and I get dizzy and headache-y when I'm hungry. I'm actually very surprised I've been able to get down to 1400 - prior to starting MFP, I was eating at least 2000 cals a day, so it's been quite the adjustment.

    I'm 5'4", weigh 134#, and MFP tried to set my calories at 1200 but I wouldn't let it! This site (below), which put me at 1326 including a slight deficit for weight loss, was recommended to me by a couple people whose information and opinions I trust. I prefer to have my TDEE based on sedentary, since I do sit at a desk all day, that way I can track my exercise and see those calories burned.

    So if Scooby puts me at 1759, should I be doing that instead of the 1200 cal?

    Quite a few. Ate an entire steak by myself, been eating out at junkfood fast-food places, still losing. I've stopped really tracking anymore.

    I'm 5'6, 194 lbs. [female] and somewhere between 1.380 and 1,410 a day, and sometimes more depending on how many calories I burn. I don't consume all burned calories but I cut into it to ensure I eat enough.

    I'm 25 years of age, 5'6" in height, ~115 lbs in weight, fairly active and I'm pretty consistent in eating 1900 - 2000 calories a day. My diet is mostly raw fruits and veggies though.

    Anywhere from 1400 to 1600. It all depends on my exercise that day.

    5'1, 26 yrs old, 133.5 pounds. My TDEE is 1750, but I'm not going to eat 1750 on low burn days, such as yoga. So I have a range around 1500-1750. I always make sure that I net at least 1200 calories. I used to eat 1850, but then I recalculated my TDEE because I had lost weight.

    I'm 5'6" & weight 133lbs. Currently I eat on average 1,450 calories a day but MFP has me with a goal to eat 1,700 a day to lose .5lb each week to reach my goal. I used to weigh 125lbs, but ended up gaining weight due to an inadequate diet.
