Calories per day?

How many calories do each of you eat on an average day? I see a lot of postings of what you're eating but does anyone count calories too?

I do count calories, as well as carbs and protein. I average 1151 calories a day right now...but, that will probably go down starting tomorrow. Joan

Why will it go down starting tomorrow? I'm just trying to compare myself to others. Today I had 1300 calories without a problem, it was easy, could have eaten more. I don't know if I'm pushing my luck.

Not Joan, but she's got a delusional doctor... See the post Joan wrote earlier about her visit... b e t h 'For I was never so small as this before...,' thought Alice. 313/298/159/130 http://meltingmama.blogspot.com/

Hi Rhonda! I log my food every single day into fitday.com.... and this is the report for the past month: Total average for January 3- February 3, 2005 Calories per day: 830 Fat: 41 Carbs: 46 Protein: 71 Now, this is the past month, and I have had an absolutely horrendous month.... gained and lost and gained five lbs (just made a huge post in my blog about it...) These are my goals *right now* while I am trying to kick-start loss again... Calories- doing the liquid thing, ends up around 500-800 per day After liquids, between 800-1000 is pretty normal for me. Any more than that seems to include bad food. I know some say you've gotta get 1200 or so, but once I see 1200, my choices of food are naughty on those days! Eating 1200 cals of good, healthy, low carb, low sugar food is difficult, it translates to a lot of volume. If I can find a way to eat that much and lose weight, I'll do it. Probably not until maintenance... b e t h 'For I was never so small as this before...,' thought Alice. 313/298/159/130 http://meltingmama.blogspot.com/

My doc says I should be eating around 1100 a day right now. I usually get between 1000 - 1200. However, I'm trying to break a plateau so I'm doing the same as Beth for now. We'll see. Ronda

Rhonda, I eat about 1200 per day. I follow Weigh****chers to keep my calories in check. Tandi 246-151-7 to go

I had my nine month visit about a week ago and was told I am only to be eating about 900 calories a day yet. I had been at about 1100, thinking that was pretty good, apparently not according to my doc's plan. So, back on the horse! I also use fitday to log my intake and it makes it easier to track my calories too!
