Calorie Intake and Running

I have been running on average 4-5 miles a day 6-7 days a week.  My calorie intake is 1,500-1,600 calories a day.  Is this too little or too much.  I checked out some other websites and said that I should be eating way more than that.  It really seems like I am more hungry than before I started running.  I mean 4-5 miles is really not that much. Help!!

It really depends on your stats and goal.

Have you plugged all of your stats into the tools here to see what they suggest you should be eating to reach your goals?

Hey,

I exercise similar to you, around 4 miles, 6 days a week if I try, plus walking to warm up/warm down. I'm on around 1700 calories a day and am losing slowly but surely. It depends on the amount you want to lose, and your fitness.. are you pushing yourself much? etc. Your calorie intake can be higher if you're exercising every day rather than just 2-3 days per week. Just check your burn meter after you've added all your exercise during the day and work out the deficit... I would say for your level of activity 1700 is a minimum.. but it totally depends on your stats (:
