My calorie intake has been sitting right around 800 calories each day.  I did have one day that I actually made it to 900 calories.  I have dropped 5 lbs. since July 1st. which is a little slower that I had hoped. 
What is your average calorie in take now that it is mid July?

I think I'm getting in about 800-900 as well.  300 of those are from my protein drinks.  Sometimes I feel like I'm eating more than I should be but if I write it all down it's never very much!

It depends, usually I aim for around 800 calories a day, but somedays I end up only around 600, but I would say that 800 to 900 a day right now is probably a good number to be at.

I've only recently started tracking my food on the Daily Plate ( I know, I should have been doing this). I haven't been getting above 600 calories. It's more like 500. Is this bad? Where are we supposed to be at this point? Maybe I need to call my NUT.....

I don't know if it is bad eatting only 500 cals per day, per say.  What I do know is that we need to get in our required protein and suppliments.  Are you meeting those goals?

Yeah - I get 60-90 grams of protein a day, and I take all my vitamins and calcium every day.

I think you must be right on track then.

I'm at about 600-800 calories also. Depends on the day.

wow! I am the oddball here. I average about 1000 per day and I could eat more but I don't.

I have had a few days were I have gotten in the 900 calorie range.  Right now I am only walking two miles everyday.  I will be doing more soon and may need to up the calories a bit if I start feeling hungary.

How has the weight loss been going?  I go like a week with the scale not moving and then all of the sudden I will be down a couple of pounds.  I think I am going to try and only weigh myself once per week.  I was weighing everyday.
