    I devour between 1500 to 1800 calories most days.
    Around 20g carbs 90g protein & the rest fat.
    Below 1500 I get hungry. :-( Quick road to failure.

    1100-1500, 30-80 carbs. I know those are pretty big ranges. It's hard for me to be totally consistent.

    I'm a little piggle, at about 1600 a day. That's maintenance for me. In reality, I go under and over about equally often.

    2500-3500 calories a day. But, I maintain at around 2800-3000 a day, so this range is pretty much keeping me at the weight I want. There was some recent stress related gains, but that is related to eating foods off plan and also eating even above that range.

    1200 and 15-20 grams carbs. It was hard at first but it becomes much easier with time. Tracking on here has been immensely helpful.

    First 5 months I averaged 1250, with about 30ish pounds to lose.
    Now I'm averaging around 1350 with about 10 pounds to lose.
    My maintenance is about 1600

    The Atkins book recommends 1500-1800 for women and 1800-2200 for men. I'm hanging in the 1800 range with no more than 2000. Just made the "tweak" so no report yet.

    2500 a day for me. I have an active lifestyle and maintain my weight at that intake.

    1200 calories, usually between 1100 and 1200. I keep my carbs around 20 - 25 total carbs, I find that that usually gets me to 15-18 net
