    I am 5'0" and weight 205 currently. My calorie goal is 1200 and will change daily based on how much exercise I do but mainly I burn about 500-600 calories. I eat my exercise calories back so it changes with how much I do. My base is 1200 though.

    I'm 5'8" and weigh 145. My goal is to lose a little fat but mostly gain muscle. MFP has me set at 1200 calories. After my workouts it's bumped up to 1500-2000. I always eat a lot of that back. I don't see how a person can exercise and not eat it back. I'd be a lazy tool if I didn't fuel before and after the exercise.
    On weekends I often go a little over the calories but the things I "Splurge" on are still pretty healthy compared to a a person who just doesn't give a F.

    I'm 5'5" and 143 right now. Hoping to get down to 130.

    My base is 1320 per day, plus I eat the majority of my exercise calories, so I eat around 1600-1800 a day, which is a LOT of food. The days I don't exercise, I stick to the 1320, but there hasn't been many that I haven't at least had a nice long walk.
  • Daily Calories: 1000
    Height: 5'3"
    Current Weight: 111 ish
    Calories burned from Exercise: 100-200 a day

    My calories look low but it is not what I go by everyday
    Since I am more hungry some days and less hungry others I eat what I want in moderation and I keep track of everything but I try not to go past 1200 each day. So basically I zig zag my calories as long as they add up to a good amount by the end of the week I am ok. I zig zag my exercise as well. I burn atleast 100 everyday and do more if I have the energy and time.
    and I also do not purposely eat my exercise calories

    Calories burned from Exercise: 500



    Surely only consuming 800 calories in a day is not in anyway good for you??? MFP recommends a minimum of 1200 and i hav always heard you shouldxn't dip below this or your body goes into starvation mood?
    Plus, your exercising,. so you should be eating some of those back too honey xx

    Daily Calories: Now, 1500, when I started in September, 1200
    Height: 5'2.5"
    Current weight: 131, started at 166.5
    Calories burned from exercise: I shoot for 400-500, 6 days a week.

    I learned (in one of these forum posts) now that my BMI is within healthy range I should no longer have too much of a calorie deficit. Most of my loss will be done through calories burned and not restricting my intake.

    It works!!
