I work out and lift weights. I've been at the same weight for a year now. My calorie in take was 1600. I've moved it down to no more then 1200.

    Base level before adjusting for activity is 1200, but I absolutely do adjust it for workouts and try to hit very close to the target.

    When I work out enough, I find that I can actually stand in front of the refrigerator at the end of the day trying to find something worth 300 calories to round out my intake. Gotta love that!

    Goal is 1500. Been really struggling lately, and eating more like 1800-2000 with a physically active job :(
