Everyone has different nutrition goals but I wanted to know what is your cal limit, what do you eat daily, what foods have helped/which have hurt?

    1500 on a low day, 2500 on a high day. I eat a Quest bar every day, otherwise I eat zucchini and squash about 4-5 days a week, lots of grilled chicken, tuna, tomatoes, mushrooms, dark chocolate almost every day.

    I average in the mid 1700's over the course of a week. I eat beans and potatoes just about everyday, and guaranteed I have fast food once a week (I have a standing playdate with a group of kids at a fastfood play place)

    I drink coffee most days, and wine a few times a week.

    I have found my food scale to be really important.

    Between 1300 and 1700 depending on how active I've been. I usually eat Kashi for breakfast, eggs for lunch, and a lot of carrots and zucchini. Also Quest bars for stacks. I try to mix up dinner so I at least have some variety.

    I'm eating around 1400 cals a day.

    Breakfast is usually eggs with turkey sausage & fruit / cottage cheese. If I'm fancy, cauliflower "grits" with shrimp or zuchinni fritters.

    Lunch lately has been tuna mixed with avacodo... or leftovers from dinner.

    Dinner is always a meat wih TONS of veggies. I do stuffed peppers, chowders (made with bone broth & coconut milk), lots of paleo inspired meals

    So far it all works for me, it's delicious and sometimes after I log it, a huuuuge plate of food, I only hit 300 cals for that meal. Leaves rooms for a dessert flavored yogurt each night. :)

    I eat anywhere from 1300 to 1700. My diary is open so feel free to take a look, although my typical diet consists of Turkey bacon, eggs and fruit for breakfast; homemade soup and a grilled cheese for lunch; and a taco salad or leftovers for dinner. Between meals I'll usually have a banana, some oats, strawberry milk or something high in protein.

    I'm usually around 1500-1800 calories a week. I'm on a high protein diet, which i typically get from chicken, eggs and whey protein shakes. Have one fruit a day, and a handful or two of veggies. I also do 6 days of exercise. Strength and cardio.

    I'm dropping from 1700 to 1600 as I've stalled the last 3 weeks on my weight loss.
    I eat proats most mornings, meat & veg for two other meals.

    I eat different things every day for lunch and dinner so I'm not sure how to answer. I have been eating cereal every day for breakfast the last few weeks.
