i eat between 550 and 900 most days...there are days here and there when i splurge, but when i'm on point, that's the range where i am. i've lost 73 pounds in 6 months, so it's worked for me. i think everyone's body works differently, so if you're losing weight with 600-900 calories, and you're feeling satiated, stick with it!

I give myself a window between 800 -1200 calories a day. This way if I go over (SAY DO TO CAL. IN A SAUCE) I'm not kicking myself for it.

I don't go over 1200. Otherwise I don't worry about it.

Everyone's metabolism is different. After reaching my goal, I can lose 1/2 # /wk by avg. 1500 cals/week. I crave nothing.

I eat 1700 nowadays but started off eating 800-1000. There is no ONE answer; there is no ONE diet for anyone here. You need to test the waters, play with your calories, and find what works for you.

Like everyone has said, it's different for everyone. For me, if I am below 1,000 then I won't lose at all regardless of how much exercise I do. I try to keep my calories between 1,000-1,100

Yeh thanks I guess I will keep doin what I'm doin I'm also at the gym 3 days a week which would help, oh and yes I splurge probably once a week now and it hasn't affected much so it's become a very sustainable diet which is what I was after
