:heart: Question of the Day- Day 27!!:heart:

How many calories has MFP allocated for you to have a day? Do you feel like your starving?

**Me- I am allowed 1200 calories a day and at first I thought I was starving but now I am getting much better. I am not hardly as hungry as I use to be except when TOM visits. Then of course I want to eat everything in site!

    I have 1200 cals allocated, which I can stick to most days apart from birthday meals out when I have not had time to go to the gym and burn some spare cals off. (when I say stick to I mean eat max 1200, even if I burn off more with exercise, I only eat those cals if I am having a treat night).
    I felt I was starving at first, but quickly adapted. I am on TOM at the moment and this week I want to eat such bad things, even after last nights evening meal I felt like I could eat a large Dominos Pizza to myself!
    Spinning class tonight to keep me in the right frame of mind....sitting at home on the sofa turns my brain into the carefree munchies type.

    Good Luck!

    I get 1660 per day. I think it's enough especially with the massive amounts of exercise I do with p90x and zumba. I have started eating back a small percentage of the exercise calories because of TOM though! Agghhhhh doing ab exercises with already having cramps is torture!

    Mine is set at 1200 too. Same goes for me I was starving at 1st but now its plenty. The hardest part was and kinda still is dividing the calories up between meals and snacks. Since I don't have a HRM yet I don't usually eat back my exercise calories (since I don't know for sure how many I really burned)

    1400 calories per day and it goes fast, I never really realized how many calories I was putting into my body til I started keeping track. My mind is hungry my body is fine.

    it told me 1480>> I say no way and eat 1600 and have lost weight
    MFP doesnt know that as you get smaller eating 1200 calories a day will make you fat!

    I think I am now, like everyone else I was starving at first, but what I learned is if I eat healthier I can eat more and still stay within my calorie range. I also use a lot of Weight Watchers products because they are lower in calories, i.e. string cheese, yogurt, cream cheese. Now when I eat I get full faster, I used to feel forced to eat everything on my plate, now my wheelpower has gotten better and I'm able to stop and put the rest to the side.
