    A 5', 19yo female that weighs 100 lbs has a Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) including total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) of 1539.24 calories per day. You need to be eating at least 1200 calories, and instead of trying to be underwieght in the anorexic category, try working out doing crunches and lifting weights. Please get help

    BTW...we are not complaining about you...we are CONCERNED

    Girl, 600 is too low on any day :)

    Don't let your feelings get hurt, some people are trying to help, other people are just being mean so there's no need for hurt feelings <3 I used to aim for less than 1000, usually around 500-750. Lasted ages on it as well, and Lord, it did me no good whatsoever. Trying to get over it, but it's hard. Maybe it would be good for you to learn a bit more about getting healthy rather than getting thin, and besides, my friend has a BMI of 22.5 and she's got the flattest stomach. Honestly, it would do you more good to up your calories AND you'd be more successful if you want to lose a few more pounds so it's a win win :)

    600? how are you still alive. i see nothing "woop woop" about that. EAT MORE :)

    sorry, tough love. but you need it.

    now to answer the question...1700-2000

    What she said... I eat 1950 gross every day. I don't worry about what I burn as long as I eat over BMR.

    Don't worry about closing it. If past history is any indication, this thread will quickly spiral out of control, be locked by a mod, and then deleted as if nothing ever happened...and then someone else will post something very similar and the cycle begins like a bad Matrix-esque nightmare.

    can someone explain gross and net, i should know this... on my fitness pal i set my goal calories to 1200. after burning 1000 in exercise, and eating 664 calls, i get 1536 cals remaining to eat for the day.

    on my fitbit program, it does not factor in my exercise burned, and says for the same info, i have 536 cals left to eat. big difference...

    one program is adjusting my calorie intake to compensate for the exercise, and one is not...

    do you guys eat the extra calories, or stick to your set goal calories for the day?

    OK - so if it was out of a serious attempt to work out how much you should be eating, then hopefully you will undertand that most people eat a minimum of 1200 (which is what your diary is set up for currently and is a target to stay within a reasonable range of (up or down)) and many a lot more than that.

    I eat 2,000 a day and lose about 1lb a week.

    Note: I am not suggesting that the 1200 is actually enough either, as that depends on your individual metrics.

    Gross is the total amount you eat and net is the amount you eat less exercise calories. So in your case, assuming you eat all your exercise calories back, your net would be 1200. You will get completely varying opinions on whether to eat your calories back. You can do a search and find a trillion threads that have a lot of heated debate about the subject.
