For a 1/2lb or so a week loss - I consume 2100-2200 NET calories. I am currently in maintenance and am in the 2300-2500 NET range. I currently weigh right around 145lbs (with a normal range of 143-150).0

1280 I workout a minimum of 3 to 5 times weekly and I eat back some of my workout calories. I also give myself one day a week to go over and so far it hasn't affected my weight loss.0

I do 1200 net calories per day, but usually burn around 600 exercising, which allows me to eat 1800.
Oh yeah, and I am hoping to lose around 40 more pounds.0 -
Mine is 1200 before exercise and I eat all my exercise calories. I try to net 1200 per day. I've just eaten a banana because otherwise I would have been below 1200 net. I went over my allowance yesterday and still lost 3.5 pounds this week0

I have mine set for maintenance, and it's giving me 2300 calories. On days I work out, I usually need to get over 3000.0

I am 5'2 and weigh 182 pounds... My goal is to loose 1.5 pounds a week and MFP set my calories to 1280 per day.0

Mine is set at 1330 (2lbs/wk) That said I typically eat around 1400-1700 a day depending on how much I exercise. MFP pal is a amazing tool to use, but only you and your doctor can determine what is the best intake for you and what is "working".0

About 3000.0

Mine is 1740, but I usually net around 1400-1500. My profile is set at 1 pound per week although I would like to lose more. I'm at the very beginning now though, so still testing to see what's the best combination for me.0

Mine is set to 1200 as I weight 146 now and 5'2. Having a really hard time eating that much though!0

2,800. I'm on a break.0

Mine is set to 2100. I'm aiming for a pound a week, and my lifestyle is currently sedentary. It also helps that I'm 5'9".
I usually don't eat that much though, to be fair. I try to hit around 1600 or so.0 -

I most defintely listen to my doctor and do what she tells me to do. I was just curious as to how many calories everyone else eats.0 -
I have a limit of 1200 to lose 2 lbs per week, but its not happening either.0

Mine is set to 1810 with wanting to lose 1 lb a week. However I usually eat less then that around 1500 (I like to have it higher to give myself permission to eat more if hungry) .
I was averaging a bit under 2 lbs a week in loss then on Wed last week I had a bad day said screw it and had a nice cheat dinner... and since then have lost an additional 2.2 lbs, which now has me averaging exactly 2 lbs per week.0 -
This is set to 1200 a day but I have around 1000, sometimes less sometimes more0
-
10 calories per pound of my goal weight.
I like your answer. Is there any science behind it? Where can I get more info? Thank you.0
