How many calories do YOU eat?

May I ask if these higher caloric intake numbers are earned by extensive workouts and for the purpose of building muscle? Only asking because they sound delicious. I try to eat about 1200 because I am trying to lose.0

I assume the poster you are most likely questioning is bulking.1 -

I've been averaging around 2,600 or so lately, I often come a little short of my actual calorie goal (2,650) and often fail to eat back exercise calories. I may need to up my intake to 2,800 or so.0

Back when I posted 6 months ago I hadn't been logging and was mostly estimating. But with more accurate tracking now, 2100-2300 is about maintenance for me at 120 lbs. I have a desk job and do 2-3 hours of cardio a week plus some lifting.0

It depends on the posters, but i know a lot of women who only workout a few days a week are at higher calories than you. I guess id ask how active you are (including exercise), what your stats are, and how much you are losing per week at 1200.0 -
I'm a 64 year-old man, 6'2" tall. I still have 3 lbs to lose, maybe more. I'm at -1.4 lbs per week with about 1600 calories ingested a day and about 2500 calories per week in aerobic exercise. The charts tell me maintenance calories will be around 2050. Sometimes I wish I was losing 40 years instead of 40 lbs!1

5’10”, up to 170 now, and gain has stalled with 3150 per day. Going to be bumping to 3400 next week, after I get some things straight with my doctor.0

I find 2900 is not a lot of food...even worse is when I see women eating at 1200 calories, I don't know how they do it, I would be starving to death. When I was cutting at 2400 calories, I thought that was little food.2 -
Starting 5000 daily this week. I was eating between 4000-4500 and did not gain fat so going up some calories0

Right now I’m bulking on 1800. I just added cardio back in so I can eat a bit more.1

Everyone's body has different requirements
Understood, but I would be much happier eating 3500.1
