Daily Caloric Intake



Recommended Posts

What is a good daily -aloric intake? I have started watching calories real close the past two days and the site Im using says I should consume 1200calories a day! i personally have not hit that but am beginning to wonder will my body go into starvation mode if I stay around the 875-900 calories a day?? Im determined to loose weight this month as I think Im very close to my green zone!

thanks for the replies!!

I've had the same concerns. The last time I met with my dietician she said to stick around 800, But I vary between 700 and 1200. I try to eat a different amount of calories every day and it seems to be working great.

I try for 1000-1200 calories a day but every once and a while will go over it to shock my body! It has been working for me! I also do not look at fat or carbs though. Just calories and protein!

I changed my MFP to 900 cal a day, and some times i go over, some times a little less, as I have no idea of what i am eating. I do NOT weight every spoonful of cashup or whatever I may season my food with, so the things I know, I lowered it to 900. This way I stay within range.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
