    Not counting exercise cals, and yes I eat as many of them as possible, 2590. Workout days add 400-1600 depending on running distance.

    I'm 5ft3 (and a smidge extra). I have my daily goal set at 1350 and on days I workout I burn anywhere from 200-400 calories and I typically eat them all (most) back.

    between 1400 and 1900 per day usually depending on exercise. I have the rare "maintenance day" thrown in there as well (2000-2100)

    I'm 5'2, and my base is 1470 (my approximate BMR). I eat exercise calories, so that puts me at anywhere from 1800 to 2100-ish depending on my exercise for the day. I've been walk/jogging in the mornings in addition to doing a boot camp DVD lately, so I have been burning off between 650 and 800 a day, so I've had a lot of peanut butter this week. :love:

    Im female 5'3" I eat a total of 1,700 calories a day based in the Insanity formula. I was eating too few at first around 1000-1200
    Im doing better now only on week two. Im losing inches now but I only want to lose @ 23 pounds so in the end the pounds will come off after the muscle is built.

    1380 right now because I'm sedentary.. But I eat back most of my exercise calories.
    If I were to just stick to 1380, I would probably rip someone's head off and splash around in the blood.

    :laugh: I'm with you on that one

    I'm 5ft 4in and eat 1800 (2000 on exercise days). I'm losing a good amount. I chose higher calories because I needed the diet to be sustainable for the longterm. I also didn't want my body to get used to lower calories ad gain weight when I increased them. Works for me.

    I'm 5'7 and I eat roughly 1400-1650 a day. I have a tendency to eat more when I'm running and on my days not in the gym I tend to eat lower...

    500 aday. Lunch and dinner. It's actually big portions just completely unprocessed, only healthy food. I eat either grilled chicken, steak or fish, one large veggie and one fruit for each meal. Lost 15 pounds in four weeks!

    Woah under 1000?! I really wouldn't advise eating that low, there's no need!

    I eat 2,300 a day (including exercise) so probably 1600-2300 NET depending on what I do that day. It averages out at around 2000 net a day.

    I'm 5'8 and 142lbs. Losing slowly, but still losing AND my body is changing faster than the scale (more definition, loss of inches, etc)

    Seriously you only eat 500 calories a day? That's really not good, you are going to give yourself serious health problems if you carry on like that!

    I'm 5ft5 and eating 1500-1800 a day including eating back my exercise calories and have lost 7lb in a month. Eating my calories is definitely working!!

    5'5" and I average around 1300 daily. I'm on a strictly supervised medically-endorsed diet, and my doctor would have a FIT if I went below 1000 calories a day! When I dropped down to around 1100, just to try it, I almost immediately stopped losing.

    1330 to 1530 cals a day.

    I used to eat less than 1,000 a day and it made me very sick. That is not recomended at all. I wouldn't advise. Even my doctor said that isn't good.
