Mine is 1200 total calories. It was preset by the system, and seems to be working so far (after 3 days). What is yours?

    I always change it up between 1,400-1,500. Plus usually half my exercise calories (or more). I tend to go over a lot tho lol

    My Net Goal now is 2400. When I first started it was at 1800. I slowly raised it as I got closer to my weight goal.

    1,500. I am thinking of changing it to 1,750 to slow down the weight loss just a little.

    I set mine to 1400. I don't like to eat more than 100 of my exercise calories.

    1200 + whatever I exercise off......high in protein and fiber..... low in sugar (which I almost never achieve but I keep trying).

    Mine used to be 1570 set on mfp when I had my lifestyle to active, but I wasn't losing too much so I decided to take it down a notch to partially sedentary so now i'm at 1390, surprisingly that's helped me stay on track i;ve been remaining under my goal with excercise.

    Mine is set at 1520 and I feel that it's a good number for me. I do okay with this amount on weekdays, but weekends come along and unfortunately, I usually go over. I'm working on changing my weekend habits though!

    Mine was 1280 when I started at 192 lbs, when I reached 182 I readjusted to 1250 so I can maintain the rate of loss. Dr says I should weigh 155???? at 5' 9" 52 years old ha. When I reach 172 I will slowly raise to a sustain count of...... well I haven't figured that out yet but assume 1500 - 1600 cals (as long as I still run)

    Mine is 1200 to lose 2lb per week
    To lose 1lb a week its 1280 ...so guess it doesn't go below 1200. But I eat between 1200-1500 and Im still losing.

    MFP set me at 1200. Typically, what works best for me when I am trying to lose weight is keeping the calories between 1200-1500 every day (and exercising) I don't really try to "eat back" my exercise calories- but I *do* try to eat closer to 1500 on the days I workout and burn a lot.

    Mine is 1330 on here but on Calorie count its 1246. This calorie counting thing is really hard.

    For losing my first 50 pounds at 2# per week I was at 1800 per day. The final 10 pounds I have increased my intake so I only lose 1# a week to 2000. Once I am at my target weight I will go to around 2300-2400. As the weather gets nicer I will also be much more active since I can walk outside and do many things that I prefer for exercise than indoor type activities.

    Mine has been 1200 since starting on 1-1-11. I did change it today to 1350 due to reading some info stating your body needs more calories for a healthy weight loss. I think whatever you find works for you. What works for one may not work for another.

    Mine is 1550. It was slightly lower than that (to lose 1 pound a week) but I increased it to my BMR after I wasn't losing much weight for a couple of months. That seemed to help... according to MFP I should be losing about .8 pounds a week but I am losing more than that. I usually try to eat at least half of my calories added on for exercising as well.

    My goal is set for 1300. I try to stay between 1200-1300 but the last 2 days I was at 1600-1800 ... depending on how hungry I am I might eat some exercise calories but I don't like to force myself to eat.
