Is there anyone that eats more than 1200 calories a day??

I set it at 1430 + exercise cals. I was at 1,300 and was a starving, grumpy person.

I'm set at 1810 right now, I usually end up eating about 2100 after exercise. I'm doing Turbofire and weights so if I don't eat enough I end up getting a migraine. I have mine set to lose 1 lb. a week but usually end up losing 2 lbs. I will continue this unless I stop losing weight, I don't see the point in eating less right now!

I am on a 1450 but found myself eating waaaaay less...so i am making sure that i at least intake the required...i noticed im not as tired....run down...im actually FUELING my body

I think 1200 calories is not too little for an obese female or small stature obese men, when I was super fat and started this 1200 worked great for me and it's advised by lots of nutritionists for the obese, now that I'm pretty much to me goal and at a normal weight I find 1450 or so works much better. But I doubt it would have then, I think a lot depends on tweaking it for you specifically via trial and error.

I have only been netting about 1200 for awhile now, not because I was trying, just because I eat every 2 hours and I am just not that hungry. I have been slowly gaining lol. So I just upped my net this week and am going to try to eat more. I think MFP sets it really low. Now matter how I set it if I say I want to lose a pound a week it drops me to 1200 so I manually upped it and am going to make sure to eat my exercise calories.

i am on the primal diet, 1700-2000 calories a day with less than 75 g carbs
losing an average of 1 - 2 pounds a week if i stay under carbs
gotta feed your body!!

Very contradicting statement there. Gotta feed your body but you limit your carbs. Interesting, really.

1500-1900 a day on average, and I have lost almost 25! I could NEVER do 1200 haha

Everyone should be! I feel sick if I eat under 1300 a day

I only use 1200 as my base. And though I'm about 80% good to sticking to it, my limit is 2000 (on a normal day ) .. I've been using MFP since Jan 1st and the fluctuation has not affected me negatively.. Oh, I also exercise ...

I have decided to try eating my BMR, 1490ish instead of the 1230 that mpf told me. I am not eating my exercise calories. But I only burn about 600-900 a week from exercise. Just started this on Sunday. We will see how it goes.

I just recently upped my minimum to 1600 and eating back most of my exercise calories making sure my net is right around 1200 or more and i have been losing very nicely.

I started out at 1410 and lost for a while then stopped losing even though i was working out about 4-5 days a week. So I have recently dropped my calories to 1200. I don't know if it is working yet, as I haven't weighed, but I feel like it is. I don't feel deprived but remember, that was after several months of eating the 1410, so I was used to eating less than I had in the past.

I am in the same place where I used to eat 1200 and then tried the really high cals like the BMR plus workout and now I only stick to my 1500ish + workout..I do feel like this is doable again!

Mine is set to 1500. I don't want to go under that. 1500 is a minimum a male should have from what I have read, but some days I find it hard to eat that much. I'm still losing at a good pace.

My assigned amount is about 1,300 - I find it pretty hard to stick to! Even on days I can't make it to the gym I find myself doing some sort of mat work at home, or taking the long way to work, to budget for a few extra calories. I also tend to eat my meals from lightest to largest during the day, with dinner coming after any working out I do - it can be tough, but I think it depends on WHAT you're eating, rather than quantity. And if I go a little over, I don't feel so bad as long as I'm eating the right kind of food and making healthy choices - whether I lose a pound, or .3 pounds a week, if I'm still losing and being healthy about it, it's good by me!
