how many calories do you all eat in a day??

hey.. bored and curious here.

how many calories do u guys consume in a day??

i TRY (try being operative word, lol) to eat 2000 calories/day.

I Zig Zag but average 2300 calories a day.  I go as low as 1350 in a day and I have been as high as 5200 in a day.  but I always averge at or below 2300 by the end of the month.

1800 for me, sometimes up to around 2000 on workout days. Follow it fairly strictly, although the thing I always have to watch the most is my protein, making sure I get enough.. which is very easy to let slip if I'm not thinking about it. Eating around 35% protein definitely has its drawbacks.

I eat anywhere from 2,500 to 3,500 each day.

around 1,200 to 1,900. : )

1500 to 1900 per day.. I zig zag.

1800-2500, depends on how I feel and how much I exercise that day.

Its interesting to see that there are a lot of people that dont eat that much. :(

I usually hit 1500-1900 depending on if I ate fast food that day. I cheated all last week, but I'm better now. School started back and between the madness and insomnia, I didn't care WHAT I ate. Just making it in to teach was good enough. I'm happy with myself though because I am 2 weeks in and have mostly chucked the soda habit. :) I still have one if my blood sugar gets too low though.

 

usually 600 - 3000, depending on the day... I'm trying to keep it around 1300 - 1400 at the moment

I need to lose almost 60 lb

3000.

Trying to gain/recover.

I usually aim for 1500 on sedentary days, and 1700 on workout days. I've been really stressed with work this month so I'm averaging 1900 right now.

1200-1500 depending on how much I work out for that day.  But average is usually around 1350.

I usually eat 1250 calories a day but when I do a double cardio or or total body/cardio in morning then another cardio in afternoon I aim for 15-1600 calories. I was trying to lose weight before and was told buy fitness people that due to my workout schedule I should eat 1600-1900 calories; well, never lost from a number stand point but I did see a definite change in my muscles (back & shoulders). I'm so glad that I finally started utilizing this website because Fitday is crap as far as helping you lose weight....it gives you nothing to go by.

I have cheated this last month (only gained 5lbs from it though) but before I was only eating 1500-1600 calories in a day.  Now I try to only eat when I'm hungry and if I am able to, I mark my calories.  I work 50+ hours a week so I have a lot of trouble staying on top but I'm making little rules for myself like when I'm at work, I only eat once.  Otherwise, I'll eat ALL day long, trust me.

Currently, I aim for 1500 calories per day.  This is today's menu ...
