What's the recommended or normal daily calorie intake for bandsters? I can't seem to remember.


Right now, I'm probably taking in 800-1200 calories daily. Huge difference from how much I used to eat


So, about how many calories should you take in per day on average? please help

 My doc told me between 800-900 each day... can't say that I follow that but that is what I am aiming for.

I am having a hard time getting my calories in...My diet is a disaster, so I am a bad example but  I take in usually 600-800.  I just re-started since having my baby though, so I am trying to jump start my body.

In the UK we are told never to eat under 1200 unless we are taking in a pile of supplements. It seems to be different in the US but many people still eat as I do around 1200.

do you have to keep track of all the calories in everything you eat each day....I have never done that...I feel I go nuts doing that...I know I don't have enough protein some days. and other times more carbs than supposed too..Right now I'm trying to adjust to the textures of foods and how well I handle them...I would take any suggestions that would help me out without this being difficult. I've been eating more at dinner time and wanting to snack more and this is old patten I hard to work on..It will slow down my weight loss for sure...
