5'6 females, 155ish lbs...how many calories are you eating per day to lose weight?

It's not going to be one number. Depends on your daily activity and your exercise intensity and type.

Set up your goals realistically, set your Goal to "Lose 1/2 pound per week" add your Exercise and eat until your Food Diary gets to zero.

Do that for a month. Log everything using your food scale. See what happens.

I'm about 5'7 and in around 155-160. Like said above it's going to depend on a lot of other factors, but for a basic idea... on sedentary days, with limited walking or activity (college student), I'll eat about 1300. At days at work, where I get between 20,000 and 30,000 steps and it's a physical job (horses), I'll eat roughly 1800-2000. Same as when I have busy days and get 15000 steps plus riding, running, or the gym. I'm set up to lose 1 per week but I'm not strict about it at all, because I know it's going to be hit or miss anyway based on loose estimates of activity and inability to measure accurately (limited access to a scale, no food scale, cafeteria food, etc)

I *try* to eat around 1400 calories - sometimes less, if I get more sleep. BTW - I lost about 40 pounds over 6 months eating 1400 calories and going paleo / keto...
