How many calories do you eat a day?

I eat 1500-1700 on workout days and about 1250-1300 on my rest day.

The only bad thing about eating less than 1200 calories is that it's not enough for your body to maintain it's regular duties like digestion, pumping blood, and other things our bodies do with out us thinking about it. If anything I'd up to at least 1200 a day.

I am 5'5 and current weight of 127. i eat about 1300-1400 calories a day (sometimes more LOL) I love my food, no one can take that away from me ) my goal is 125 or a few lbs below ) i guess i will see what makes me happy. I still got a belly from having a baby, so i'm working on toning it down.

If you want to maintain your weight you'll need to eat more than 1300 calories. My toddlers need 1000-1200 calories a day, and while they're obviously growing, an adult shouldn't expect to maintain a healthy weight on that few calories. It varies on height and weight, but most people need between 1600 and 2000 calories a day to maintain weight.

While I was losing weight I was eating 1500-1600 plus exercise calories. Now that I'm pregnant I'm eating about 2000 per day, which is right about my maintenance level.

When you set up your MFP account you can select to maintain your weight and MFP will tell you (based on your height, weight and normal daily activity level) how many calories you should be eating.

1300 is probably going to be below what you need to maintain your weight. Go to your settings under "goals" and change your calorie intake to maintenance and it will tell you what you need to eat to stay the weight you are right now. It will probably be in the 1600-2000 calorie range.

Yeah I stopped having my period which I don't think is healthy

nooo, not good, not good. Go get that checked out. That might be weight related or it might be something more serious.

Losing your period is definitely weight-related, and what you were at calorie-wise wasn't a good amount whatsoever to be at. It's really great that you're now committed to getting back to a healthy caloric range, props to you for that! You should be eating anywhere from 1800-2000 calories/day to maintain your weight. Eating in increments of 3-4 hours will help your metabolism rev up, too! Good luck and all the best

So until today I was only having about 1100 cals everyday for the past 3 months and I've lost 6 pounds and now I'm down to 108 but people are starting to tell me im too skinny but I don't think so but to make everyone happier and I feel this will make me happier as well I've increased my intake to 1300 a day, I was just wondering if anyone thought I should either do more or less because all I want to do is maintain the weight I'm at! Thanks! And also it would be awesome If you would say your weight and calorie intake( I'm just really curious hehe)

Even 1200 is too low for most people unless you are super short/tiny or you need to lose close to 100 lbs or more.

You're starving yourself -- and you already know this if your periods even stopped.
At 5'4 its more likely youre daily should be 1400-1600 depending on whether you're sedentary or active.
It almost make a different where' you're getting these calories -- are you living on candy and soda or at least eating healthy? Lean meats, veggies, greek yogurt, protein, quinoa etc?

You should review your goals -- enter sendentary and choose maintain or gain 1/2lb a week...

NO THAT IS NOT HEALTHY!
I think that is way to far you need to rethink what you are doing and why and how you are doing it. I used to be 103 I have to say i was boarderline aneroxic, yes i was diagnosed with it when i was 26 years old. It is something that is a scary thing. I became so obessed with my weight i would have dreams i was 115 and i would dream i jumped off a bridge because i dreamed i gained the weight back. Maybe you are not this bad yet but honestly If you are not having a period this is not a good sign and maybe you are geting to small. Have to be honest I hate to see another women in our sociaty allow there weight to define them or make them sick. good Luck.

Slightly off topic, but why is it totally acceptable to tell people they are way too skinny? Imagine if you told folk they were way too fat.

Also if your period stopped it could be pregnancy! Just throwing that out there, only you know whether that's a possibility or not. But if it's not, yeah you're probably not eating enough.

Are you trying to say that fat people don't hear that?

Yeah, never heard of someone being kicked off a plane for being too skinny

I was fat for years and I never actually noticed, not one person told me I was fat :S
I am now slightly chubby and everyone and thier dog, tellsme I am too thin. Just strange if you ask me.

she means its seen as mean to call someone too fat... but if you call someone too skinny... no one gives a crap, but it hurts just as much, especially when people say it to me, because i know how much i eat and how healthy i am.. its just plain mean.

It really depends on what I'm eating. If I'm eating nutritionally dense food (lots of beans and veg and fruit and little else), it's a struggle for me to eat enough to break 1000 calories. Still, my my energy level skyrockets and I have no trouble exercising. But if I'm eating smaller amounts of "normal" food, I need a lot more calories (1500ish), and I still get exhausted and shaky working out. I don't know exactly why this is.
