How many calories should we be consuming per day?

Hey guys, I'm 6 months out and 73 pounds down. I am amazed everyday at how much I can eat. It kinda scares me. I was just wondering how many calories we should be consuming per day? I usually clock in at around 1000. One good thing is that my hair has stopped falling out. Thanks, Charity

Oh man I will be glad when that happens - I am fortunate I had a great deal of hair in the first place!!! I have no idea how many calories and that would be a good thing to know. My surgery was 11/24/03. I am at 66 lbs out.

I never count calories or even worry about them. I just eat 2 meals a day, protein first. I quit when I'm satisfied. Cecil 338/212

Charity, I can relate. My appetite sometimes scares me. Currently, I am eating around 1200-1500 calories a day. My surgery was 11/24. I am 5 lbs. from goal weight, and I do exercise a lot and very intensely. I am still losing about 2 pounds a week.

6 months out. Down 95 lbs. 49 from goal Stuck here in plateau land My hair has stopped falling out too after 3 months and serious bald spots
