2000+ easy. Once I entered what would have been a typical day and it was almost 1800 and that was without snacks figured in. Since I'm 5ft 2, a bit disabled and not regularly exercising, thats a lot of calories for me. With just a little more exercise and real dietary changes I've lost 36lbs.0

..coffee with like 8 tblsps of sugar.
would you like some coffee with your sugar?0 -
Mine was probably anywhere from 3000-5000. Especially on the nights I would go out drinking and then hit fast food after. Yikes! No wonder I now have so much weight to lose! I still party and eat what I want, but occasionally and in moderation instead of every night!

I would guess in the 4000 range. It was pretty bad.

Sunday thru Friday...3000-4000 a day
Saturday ......4000 to 5000 depending on the binge drinking.0 -
Definitely no less than 3000. If it was less than 3000 it was all junk.0
-
I would guess it was between 3500-4500. I would have a 32 oz frozen coke everyday! Haven't had one in 2 months!!0

I would like to say 3000, but it was probably more like 4000 ish.0

I have been trying to figure that out. I haven't really changed what foods I eat since before I started tracking. I've just started measuring and taking proper portions. Before I was trying to cut, I think it was wildly fluctuating... like 1000 one day, and 2500 the next.
I'm still bouncing high-low from day to day, but I've gotten to between 1400-1900. I'm often voracious, but sometimes I fill up too much on veggies, and there are not that many calories in there. Other times I fill up on homemade baked mac and cheese, and well... Hoping to get to a regular 1800/day.0 -
Anywhere from 3000 - 3500! I didn't realize my favorite burrito from Qdoba was 1000 calories until I looked up on here. Now I can't even think about eating one without gagging!0

...my favorite burrito from Qdoba was 1000 calories...
Yeah, I hear ya on that... I looked up some things I used to eat, and it wasn't pretty..
For example.. 1 egg mcmuffin and 2 sausage burritos from McDs.. which is 900 calories.. :sick:0 -
My 'average' day was easily 3500 or more, but the really bad part would have been the non-average days where it was well above that. That, and I had nothing to offset my Net calories.0
-
I would guess around 2800 weekdays and 3500 weekends.0
-
On some days very close to 4000 easily.0

WOW,just thinking about this scares me,on days that i don't work out 1,200 calories add up soo fast..so before i started working out and keeping track of my calories i was probably consuming 3,000 calories a day :sad:0
-
Ha ha that's a very good question. I'd say about 2500-2700 on a day that I would actually think about what I was eating.0
-
Definitely 3500-4000 minimum but I probably ate more on weekends. I was always eating chips, late night snacks, and eating out (Wendy's, Burger King, Applebee's, etc...)0
-
Only between 2500-3000 but I only ate a light breakfast and then a large high calorie dinner. So my metabolism was ****.0

Like that rent guy in NYC, too damn high!.0
