Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / April 2004was wondering .......
Was wondering what everyones average was on calorie intake for each day. I am trying to aim right now for 1200 calories a day. Some days are a little lower depending on what I eat , also the numbers maybe a little higher. I'm also trying to maintain over the next month as I am in a wedding at the end of may. I guess what I am trying to really ask is this , for those that are on maintianence what is the amount that you eat that you don't gain weight ? I also do know that everyone is different and are calories will differ. But I do need a rough idea of some numbers to work with. I'm not really counting carbs , but I was at the beginning of the month and am roughly eating 100 grams a day or less. I have cut alot of things out of my diet and made drastic changes mostly due to doctors orders. I have bad adult acene and am trying to clear it and she for right now has told me to cut all sugar and junk food out , and eat more veggies and fruit and fish and chicken and not so much red meet.(not that I eat much of it any way). Alright I guess I rambled on long enough, hope that I gave u enough info about my diet and that some one can answer my question.

Thanks in advanced I am a 28 yr old 5'3" female who weights 126 lbs and gets regular exercise. My maintenance without exercise is around 14-1600 calories, or about 12 cal per lb of bodyweight. With exercise I maintain at closer to 2000 calories, but usually I just shoot for 1400 per day, and don't freak if I'm over or under, as it usually evens out over time. On heavy hiking/biking days, I easily eat 2000 calories or more. To lose weight, I shoot for 10 cal x # lbs of bodyweight. But I'll still increase calories when I need it. det cool thanks we are about the same hight and i want to get to the weight u are at that is what i was at in sept 2003 and for now that is my goal. thanks for the info. angie > > Was wondering what everyones average was on calorie intake for each > day.

You might also want not to cut the fats too much. Especially quality oils, fat fish and butter. The fat soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids are an important part of skin (and hair) health. > Was wondering what everyones average was on calorie intake for each day. > I am trying to aim right now for 1200 calories a day.

Yikes! I wish that I had the perfect answer for that. I'm in the 1800-2100 calorie per day range. I also exercise on a daily basis (riding bike outside, elliptical, stair climber, spin class, hiking, walking dogs @ 3.5 mph, etc.). I'm 5'8".

Have you decided for sure on Atkins or have you also looked into South Beach? I mean, are you still researching plans or have you more or less settled on Atkins? I understand that you are on an eating plan designed by your doctor at the moment. What does she/he say about chaning your diet in June?

We are all not the same height, weight, age or have the same end goals in site, so we all won't be eating the same amount. i understand that, but i just wanted to get and idea of what peoples average was and i am experimenting with my calorie intake to see what amount i can eat without gaining. I was also wonderin if anyone new of a good book to read on low calorie /low fat diets that I could get where i could find out more info or any good sites on the net. I am going home this weekend for a bridle shower but i am going to be good. Don't get me wrong i will have fun but i won't over do it with my eating. thanks again for ur help Angie > > Was wondering what everyones average was on calorie intake for each day. > >I am trying to aim right now for 1200 calories a day.
