How many calories do you consume throughout the day? Is that your goal or would you rather consume less or more?

    I've just started consuming 1,500 a day, as I ease out of my deficit. Started at 1,250, then 1,300 etc. Moving VERY slowly out of the deficit, because I wanna keep the weight off for good!!

    My calories are set to 1620 a day to lose 1 pound a week. That's just a little under my BMR. And I'm satisfied with that.

    I eat around 1500, I wish I could eat more, but I still have a bit more to go. I also wish I could do less, but I like food and eating and I don't like being hungry. I also like long walks on the beach and piña coladas

    oops...guess I should answer the question myself too! I never consume more than 300 calories throughout the whole day and usually it don't ammount to that. I am big on exercise so I would like to see it get to about 500 or 600 and with my therapists help I might even consider 700 but never more! This has worked for me since I was 15 up until I had to have a full hysterectomy. I was always between 97 and 107. The hysterectomy threw my body out of wack and when all was said and done I weighed 141 but am now back down to 114 and still losing!

    Over 1000 - i want to die
    800 - I feel upset but its not the end of the world
    500 - decent day
    200 - I feel good
    50-100 - I feel amazing,

    I mostly eay under 400 calories each day tho. i need the calories to concentrate on studying (finals) but when summer comes im going to actually restrict.

    Just hijacked this thread... Next 5 pages will be people arguing with you about how unhealthy that is... But to cut them all off: she's anorexic, not stupid. I'm sure she knows that is incredibly unhealthy and I'm sure she doesn't care because she wants the body of a scrawny pre-pubescent girl and doesn't care if she is slowly killing herself in the process. Within her rights people, and you can't reason her out of an eating disorder.

    I eat between 1300-1500. And omg, I'm not fat!

    I'll wait for the calorie police to get here.

    I think I would die if I ate under 1000.... good luck keeping that up ladies........

    Congrats on considering 700, I'm sure that is difficult for you, but I hope you do it.

    I eat between 1800-2500 a day, depending on if it's a heavy exercise day or a light exercise day. I am still losing fat at this amount of calories, which is dope, because I just got to my goal body fat %, 18%!

    Also I.. :,( Because I DO CARE that I am killing myself. I DO CARE that I am unhealthy. It is an addiction, an illness and obviously I DO CARE because I am going into treatment in July. Please don't make me out as the ignorant anorexic girl who's "killing herself but doesn't care". I'm not what you make me out to be.
    I answered this with honesty because Terrie also has an eating disorder. So I thought I'd give her my honest opinion.

    There's no need to put down someone else's eating habits while they respect yours. Please keep it in mind as you comment.

    No offense taken at all. I malabsorb approximately 2/3rd of the calories I eat....So for example, yesterday I ate just under 4,000 calories, but I only absorbed like 1700 of them.

    I eat a lot and I absolutely love it. At least 6 small to medium sized meals/snacks per day.

    i'm curious... why do you have malabsorption issues?

    My goal is 1200 calories.
    I eat anywhere between 1200 and 1500 calories on good days, but can eat around 2000 on a planned cheat day (or bad self-control day...).

    In order to redeem myself on this thread, before my eating disorder I ate 1500 calories a day. I currently stay under 400 cals, but I am ill. Maybe some day I will find a way out. But I'm pretty sure my healthy calorie intake would be anywhere from 1200-1500 calories.
