    My average intake for the past 30 days is 1982 calories. That is total calories though. My NET goal on MFP is 1230 currently.

    Currently losing roughly 1.2lbs per week according to trendweight.com. :drinker:

    I'm at 1200. 44yo, 5'3", with ~40 lbs to lose. It is enough for me... I eat very nutrient-dense foods, generally. Have lost 7lbs in the past 30 days.

    1220 per day. I eat back my exercise calories- or most of them if I feel they've been estimated too high.

    Not necessarily maintenance. I'm close to 2000 calories on average and losing a little over 1lb per week. However, I lift and I am also doing a C25k program. I also will walk my boys to the park when it's nice out and sometimes I will even walk to the stores (to walmart & back makes a nice 4 mile round trip not including walking around the store).

    Nope that is at 0.5 loss a week. Maintenance for me is 2800-3000.

    My base is 1600 and Fitbit adds calories based on how active I am. Yesterday was a fairly active day and I ate 2200. Other days I stick right around 1600.

    I'm 5'4" 124 lbs.

    Looks like I average 1600ish. That average includes eating my 1340 daily allowance plus between 25%-50% of exercised calories. Sorry I don't know the technical names for these calories categories. :)

    I'm so jealous!

    I eat 1300 cals plus 50% of exercise cals.

    I'm 5ft5, currently weigh 117 pounds, and eat on average a week around 1200 for weight loss via 5:2 and cutting out crap food - having been on this diet for the last 4 months I have lost 17 pounds. I'm also doing Insanity (2nd round)... My target is to get down to 15% body fat which is only 4 pounds away, and then maintain... Looking forward to re-introducing a bit of chocolate and cheese into my diet!

    My TDEE is less than 1500 calories, so I'm eating 1200 a day. 5'2" and 133lbs.

    2000 calories has me losing around a pound per week. I am 5'9" and have lots of muscle. I maintain around 3000 calories.

    I also think people forget that just because I can eat 2500 calories and lose doesn't mean I'm living the dream. My body requires more fuel and I can't eat 1000 calories worth of doughnuts with 1500 calories worth of chicken and vegetables. I might be able to fit a doughnut in easier than someone eating 1400 calories, but I eat mostly filling foods because I get just as hungry as I did when my calorie needs were lower.

    Can the high-cal lifting ladies expand on their workout plans? Are you guys really tall? I lift heavy 3x week and run 5k 3x, eat 1350 cals/day, and lose about 1lb/week. I’m 5’4” and 132lbs. I now feel like I’m doing this all wrong.
