14 lbs to lose

Mandy72CM · April 2020

What calories do you eat? I’m not interested in weight, height etc I just want a straightforward answer. It would be refreshing not to over analyse 😁

L1zardQueen · April 2020

Depending on whether I get some exercise in for the day or not, it is 1800 a day, otherwise it is 1500.

Cjlhardy4 · April 2020

My calorie intake is 1330 I have lost 11lbs I also workout 5/6 days a week. Mostly cardio (walking, jogging)

Without any details, I eat about 2700-3000 calories per day lost about 15lbs since September.

1200

sijomial · April 2020

To maintain 3,000 roughly in winter, quite a bit more the rest of the year.

MeteoraTitanium · April 2020

I eat about 2300

To lose 14 pounds you'll need to ingest approximately 49,000 fewer calories than you burn. I choose to eat somewhere around 500 fewer calories than I burn each day.

I eat 1750. Have lost 70.5 lbs in precisely 10 months as of today.

My cals have varied from 1600 to 1850 over the last 10 months. I settled on 1750 as the least cals I could eat and feel satisfied. 1750 works for me in a way that 1725 does not. I start nibbling and then binging within a day or two as soon as I try to push it under 1750.

I eat back ~ 40 % of my exercise, on top of the 1750. If my exercise machine reports 500, I'll usually eat back 200 of them. My machine has a terrible problem with exaggeration & that's why.

Currently 1400 to lose 1/2 pound a week.

In maintenance now, maintain around 2100-2300 (when not "sheltering in place", at least

). Working on slooooowly dropping few more vanity pounds now, so 1850-2000, usually, depending on exercise.

Really: The simplest thing is to put your data in your MFP profile, chose a slowish weight loss rate, and eat the calories it recommends. Stick with that for 4-6 weeks, and see what your scale weight does, on average. Then adjust intake.

I think you can see that other people's calories vary all over the map. It's easy to find the right ones for you - way easier than trying to use other people's context-free experiential numbers.

I would not consider a calorie number devoid of context about current weight, goals, and activity level to be "straightforward."

Unicorn_Bacon · April 2020

I was thinking that too...

With everyone being a different age, weight, height, gender... lol calories required to lose 14 pounds varies widely and a straight forward answer without any of that is not at all helpful to the OP...

So far all shes gotten is what everyone else is eating lol

Trying to be at 1200

AnnPT77 · April 2020

I already said that calorie targets truly need to be individual. By way of further explanation, I'm adding this into the mix, as thought-fodder:

The 1200 calorie is undertaken by many women . . . often for a very short time, frequently followed by regain.

It's actually suitable for a few.

gallicinvasion · April 2020

I eat an average of 2200 calories per day to maintain my weight.

A_New_Creation · April 2020

I'm eating approx 1700 a day to lose 0.5 lbs per week.
