Hey I’m looking at 1800 but with walking at work Fitbit adds at least 500 a day. I’ve still only on average eating 1500-1700.
It’s my first week so we shall see what I’ll loose this week1 -
Currently bulking at 3325 calories.6

My average TDEE is around 2300 (7 day average).
I try to stay below that (1800 being the lowest I'm willing to go or I gnaw off my arm)1 -
5'11 male. I'm eating 1700 net calories per day (2200ish is maint).1

I try to eat about (or under) 1,400 calories a day. Have lost ALMOST 45lbs since the beginning of the year.
It's amazing that by simply looking at the foods you eat, there are so many calories you can cut. Try light mayonnaise, light bread, instead of regular or sugar free jello or low calorie fudge bars instead of that bowl of icecream. I agree that there are a lot of "light" foods that don't taste great, but there are many that you wouldn't even know the difference. Just something that has helped me. Good luck!10 -
About 1500-1600.
5’7 woman, 12 st 3ish (it’s hard to tell as I’m currently gaining weight for TOM). Losing possibly around 1.5 lb per week (see previous about it being hard to tell ), which is a bit faster than intended, oops.0 -
maintaining on 2700-3100cal (I carb cycle) - female, 5'3", 159lbs, endurance athlete - training just starting to ramp up again, so food intake will increase in the near future0

I'm a few years in maintenance and working on leaning out for the summer. I'm at 1,370 calories a day, to lose .5lb a week (current bmi is 21.5, working towards 20.5).0

1430. Trying to lose 2 lbs a week. Still new to it, but it's an adjustment for sure.
Female, 42, 5'5", 195 lbs, exercise about 3 times a week.
After reading that, I may bump the calories up and the rate of loss down.0 -

I try to stay under 1300. Some days are not as good:( Currently trying to loose. If I know I'm going out to dinner or going to have a drink or 2 that night I try to increase my cardio to "earn it".0

My fitness pal suggests I eat 1400 calories per day to lose 1/2 lb a week. I am super strict on measuring and use a scale for everything. After one month, I have lost 1 lb. I am always hungry too. Pretty discouraging.0
