    Hope you're talking about net calories. ;-)

    I'm on about 1500, but since I hit the gym almost daily, I usually eat 2000 or more.

    I think most people on here are in that range ;)

    I work out a lot and am 5'10 so my BMR / min cals are 1600. I usually wind up at 1900 because of eating back exercise, so my diaries aren't the best examples. That said, add exercise and you'll both be eating more and have a more shapely bod when you melt off some fat!

    Good luck.

    I'm on 1300 a day :) not been on this forum yet but sooo glad i downloaded the MFP app to my phone. It's fantastic (and free) and has really helped me turn things around. Some foods i genuinely had NO idea about the calories contained within. It's a fantastic tools and so far i have lost 28 pounds :S not sure how, but i have, the only thing is i am only just seeing a very small result :)

    I was on 1200 searching for something that would let me know if this is even healthy. Came across this post and have done a lot of self education. I am now eating 1800-2000 calories/day and have been losing ~1lb/day after 4 days upping my calories slowly because I was uncertain. I feel much better and don't want to risk my long term health for short term goals.

    I was on 1200 but I upped it to 1350 bc I was too hungry all the time. I also lowered my carb and sodium recommendations.

    1240! Though I usually end up under my calorie limit thingydo. It is a lot easier to not eat as much when I can track my food on here :)

    My MFP goal is 1440 but I usually aim for about 200 under whatever my recommended calories are (more if I've "earned" a lot of calories from working out)

    I'm doing the same, but I find it really hard to keep up sometimes! I eat back some of my exercise calories. Add me! My food choices suck sometimes so you'll know you aren't alone if you slip up every now and then, haha.

    It's funny. Right now I'm eating more than I usually have in the past and I'm losing weight. I've tried to get rid of the junk foods from my regular routine like potato chips, nuts, and sodas. That's helped out a lot. I think that since I missed a lot of meals that wasn't good either so now I'm eating on a regular basis and most of the time I find that I'm not really that hungry which surprises me.
