Not sure about calorie intake but that's the range that works for me under 1000. I'm 4 years post op vsg, trying to lose pregnancy weight. I keep my cardio calories low also since I'm not consuming alot of calories.  Don't burn more than you consume is my #1 rule. I need to lose around 50 pounds and keeping my calories below 1000 a day puts me in fat burning stage. 

Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi Have an appt coming up in a few weeks with my nutritionist but I wondering how many calories are people eating I was down 100 lbs and have regained 30, been back on track for few weeks but the scale is moving up and down, I am eating between 900-1000 calories,someone suggested this is too little. I am thinking maybe I need to get down to 800.I am doing about 70grams of protein a day. Experiencing extreme knee pain so my exercise is very limited, probably averaging 1 mile per day. Thoughts?

B- oatmeal blueberries and scoop of protein powder

L-salmon and carrot ginger soup( at Whole Foods again)

D-Cod and salad 

S-left over salmon from lunch

the NUT who I saw twice basically told me what I already new.  She said 3 meals and a 2 snacks in the beginning as there was no way I could get my protein in with the amount I was eating.  I did 3 meals and sometimes a snack.  I added protein powder to whatever I could.  I have always stayed low carb, but was more liberal during my weight loss phrase.  I ate quinoa and sweet potatoes. No bread, rice etc.   I found when I got to goal and in maintenance I had to cut back on these foods to maintain.  Now my carbs come from oatmeal and blueberries each morning and green veggies with lunch and dinner.  I do eat nuts as well.  I have switched from regular milk to coconut to reduce carbs as well.  I am trying to lose my 7 pound regain and have to cut back to about 800 calories.  I am getting there.  Some eat 5 meals a day others 2.  I think you have to find what works for you.
