Women who eat more than 1800 calories a day !!!!

susannamarie · February 2012

I'm aiming for 1450 net, but since I burn at least 500 just about every day but Friday and I eat my exercise calories, I fit in there.

I haven't weighed in in a week, but I started at 223 and after 33 days was 215. So ... so far, so good.

My net calories were just reset to 1480 today but with exercise I usually eat well over 1800. There is no need to starve!

I had my BMR tested with the Medgem, and it was 2450 . I usually don't eat that much, but try to reach 1800 or so. I don't count calories directly, so I am base it on estimates which has been effective. I work out a lot, but I hit a summer plateau that I just busted through the past month or so.

I ate about 2000 NET last summer. Lost 12 lbs. I then ate 2800 and gained 10lbs. I'm happier with my body now than I think I've ever been.

ETA: Oh, you asked for pictures (and well, I'm an attention *kitten* and will post pictures as often as I can)

Yay! A thread where the women don't starve themselves and care about having a HEALTHY wight (loss) goal. And a few here who look like they might even lift the occasional weight

I am losing better eating more. And I have more energy. It's a good thing. My net goal is 1400 calories but I'm often eating 1800 or more with my exercise calories added in. I have only started working on repairing my damaged metabolism since late October (or thereabouts) when I finally got it through my thick skull that 1200 calories total (at the time I wasn't eating exercise calories) wasn't healthy or sustainable. I hope to continue adding in more calories as I get closer to my goal and increase my strength and endurance through heavy lifting, HIIT and cardio workouts. I'm also one who is losing inches far beyond what the scale loss should indicate. I'm loving it.

Yea I started eating 1500 and lost 21 pounds in a month and was STARVING!!!! then I hit a platu and it ruined my drive, then I found out your body can get used to a smaller amount of food and run with a smaller amount, and I thought why in the world would I want to change my body to run on a smaller amount of food (seeing as how I love food so much) so now I want to train my body to run and burn on 1800-2000, and I do plan to eat back my cals, I also decided to make the calories I eat really count so I try not to put things don't have the good stuff, Iron fiber ect in me mouth,

I am reading this book by Juilin she say's gaining weight and loising weight is more about the cemicals you eat then restricting, so I am trying to provide enough of the good stuff, cause I want to be healthy and lean not skinny and unhealthy

i eat over 1800 every day, since i set my goal to my BMR (1845). i also eat my exercise calories, so most days im eating 2000+
ive only been eating at my BMR for almost a month, so i havent weighed in yet, but i know ive lost inches and can fit in smaller clothes.

littlemili · February 2012

I eat 2000-2500 a day (5'1, 105lbs). It's yummy. Seems like I am maintaining.

JennieAL · February 2012

I'm 5'7", 128lbs, and lift heavy weights 3x week... eat between 1600 & 2000 calories per day. I zig-zag between 1600 & 2000 actually, depending on whether it's a lifting day or not. I'm staying at the same weight and losing fat (inches) on this slight caloric deficit while gaining strength.

AirCircleI · February 2012

Thanks for posting this. There is NO WAY I would be happy or comfortable eating 1200 a day. I can't even really comfortably eat under 1500. I usually eat between 1600 and 2100. My starting point is set at 1500, but I do some form of exercise most days, which adds between 400 and 800 calories and I eat back some but not all of my exercise calories (depends on how I am feeling on the day). If I am hungry, I eat, but make sure it is healthy, like some nuts or fruit or a protein shake.

I've lost a consistent 5lbs a month for the last 5 months, for a grand total since October of 25lbs. I have another 10-15 to go. You can see my photos here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/503638-25lbs-down-before-and-during-pics
