Calories and Carbs
My range is 1150 to 1500 calories with an average of 1260. I cycle calories and carbs. I do not want to keep calories so low that I will gain weight later when eating the normal calories for my goal weight.
As I near my goal weight, I hold my calorie max to the sedentary caloric needs of someone 10 lbs to 15 lbs lighter. I never go over my goal maintenance calories for a sedentary lifestyle.
My carbs average 25g but range as high as 100g+ with cycling. I focus mostly on protein which I've raised to 150g in hopes of breaking my current stall.
Each week I have a higher cal day and about twice a month a much higher carb day. I do not want to stagnate at one nutritional level.

My average is 1050 calories per day. I get over 100g. protein, and my carbs are from fruit/veggies and the occassional whole wheat low carb high fiber toast or flatbread. (I love the FLATOUT Lites)
My weight loss has slowed dramatically, but I am losing inches like crazy, and my run times have improved. So I am focusing on how I am becoming more physically fit. BUT WITH THAT SAID, I am anxious to get to goal!
It does vary person to person, and it is interesting to see what everyone is doing.
Hugs,
Kathy

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
