    5'-2", 142 pounds, 2500-2800

    Turd.

    I'm at 2310 on a cut and going back to maintenance above 2530. Once in a while I'll hit 3,200 after longer endurance. 5'-11", 204. . . .

    To be fair, I am bulking. I think my cut goal will be closer to 2200

    My brother is the same way. He doesn't have much of an appetite. He pretty much has to eat burgers, french fries, and ice cream to gain weight.

    I'm trying to lose without counting calories. I've noticed that on days where I eat a little healthier (2 or 3 days a week), I eat only 700-800 calories. The rest of the week, I eat up to maintenance or sometimes 200 over maintenance.

    I'm actually happy with this. Seems my body has learned how to balance things out on its own.

    I aim to eat my BMR of 1236 and net that down to 1000 through exercise (sometimes eat slightly less depending on appetite). Compared with my TDEE this gives me a deficit of around 800 cals a day and so far my weight loss has been pretty consistent at roughly 1.2lb/week. If you're looking to gain, calculate the BMR/TDEE *for the weight you want to reach* and try your best to eat to those calorie numbers each day - you'll get there gradually. Good luck :)

    I'm 5'8, 130 pounds and I am currently maintaining at 2,000 calories a day. That's even if I don't exercise. If I do exercise, I will eat them back depending on how I'm feeling. Usually in foods I crave like Snicker bars and Ben and Jerrys.

    5'4" female 162lbs... aiming to lose 1 lb a week
    My calorie goal is 1270 right now. I often eat around 1500... sometimes up to 1700 but rarely more than that... and I very rarely eat less than 1270 unless I am ill.
    I exercise about 30 minutes every day and that usually brings my net calories close to my goal.

    I am 5"11, 190lbs and eat about 3,000 calories a day. My body fat is remaining constant (about 15% at the moment) and I'm slowly gaining weight on the scale. I can easily get by on 1,000 calories during the day any more makes me sleepy), but eat a huge meal during the evening. Hitting 190 grams of protein everyday can get a bit repetitive but I love cooking on my George Foreman grill.

    5'4" 175lbs 36 years old. I aim for 1590 net which would allow me to lose half a pound a week. I kinda suck at hitting my goal lately, but I'll get back on track.

    I'm 5'9 and 114 lbs. with a BMI of 16.8. Technically, that is considered underweight. I've always been thin and I figured I just was one of those people who could eat anything without gaining weight. Then I realized I'm not actually eating as much as I thought and I did not process all the calories I burn from working out. My Fitness Pal recommends I eat 1900 calories a day. It's 7 in the evening here and I've barely consumed 600 calories minus my afternoon run. I still have to eat dinner so that will probably push my calories to 900-1000ish but that's it. So, how many calories do you consume in one day?
