Would love to see what some people eat on a 1800 calorie diet. I myself am eating this much and then burning anywhere from 250-500 calories a day.

    I'm at 1730, my diary is open, feel free to look at it. Though I might not be the best example.

    My goal is 1700 but I eat back exercise calories, so depending on the day I eat well over 2000. My diary is also open, so feel free to take a look!

    I try to be around 1800 most days. Some days are better than others. Some days I find I am absurdly hungry.

    I'm set for 1700 right now. I plan to eat back whatever exercise calories I gain. My diary is also open if you'd like to take a look. :)

    Hi there!! My goal is set at "maintenance" which is 1640, but I eat back my exercise calories and usually consume well over 2000. I'm working on building muscle so I'm going for as much protein as possible. I just started this about two weeks ago and let me tell you, sometimes it's hard for me to eat enough healthy calories to stick around that 1640. What can I say, I'm still in weight loss mode.

    Anyway, it's a work in progress, learning and adjusting things as I go. My diary is open too, feel free to check it out!

    I'm right around there, and eating back exercise calories. The last few days haven't been the cleanest, but my diary is open.

    I eat at my TDEE for my activity level with a 500 cal deficit. So I typically eat between 1730-1850 calories a day. SW 148 CW 135 GW 130. I am 5'3" and excercise 6 days a week.

    Im trying to stay between 1300 to 1900 calories. I am in a weight loss burning mode. I feel like I am eating enough for now and i typically burn between 700-1100 calories in a workout.

    So far i am not tired or super hungry.

    My diary is open too but I just started about a week ago. Much of my food diary has been similar foods since I havnet cooked in the last few days.

    Good luck.

    Bump - I'm just getting (re)started and I think 1800 is going to be my goal.
