On average how many calories do you take in a day? Im taking in about 1000. Just wondered if I'm doing this right. Thanks

I eat between 1000-1200 calories a day

I eat 1200 calories a day, about 70g protein.

Around 1200 per day, give or take 20-30.

Do you count your carb intake as well? I am so afraid to eat things with carbs in them. I do not eat Rice, Pasta or bread. But for instance my sugar free pudding has 15 carbs in it....is that ok???

I don't count my carbs, but I don't eat a lot of carbs. I focus on Protein first, then veggies and every once in a while I'll have carbs with my meal. I only eat 1 cup food per meal. My Snacks are high protein (greek yogurt, cheese, peanuts).

Hope that helps.

I've currently been carb cycling to break a plateau, but when I'm not or on a high carb day, I don't count carbs at all.

I love bread, Pasta, potatoes, rice, etc and I refuse to deprive myself and live without them.

1200 with 60-80 grams of protein. I don't pay a lot of attention to carbs.

I use My Fitness Pal to keep track of everything though.

I eat 500-800 but I didnt lose this week so I am going to try eating 1000 this week. I also dont count carbs mostly protein.

In my losing stage I ate 1000 calories each day after clearing it with the dr. I have 11 more lbs to take off my I am doin g it in the maintainience stage so i eat about 1500 calories now... But I have trouble eating all that. I expect when I get those 11 lbs off I may need a slight unfill... Not sure how that works.

Do you guys snack or just focus on your 3 meals a day? I find myself always wanting to snack...Mis73 you are down about 168 right? How did you lose it so quickly in 10 months? Do you exercise as well?

I eat about 800 - 1000 cal per day, and "try" to get to 65 - 70g of protein a day. I'm getting better at it. I also try to eat 3 -5 times a day, and track my food on MFP. Great tool!

Why should you not snack? I've been wondering this. My doc says just 3 meals, that's it.

I don't know what this is. I will have to look into it.

My dr and NUT says only eat when hungry. I eat under 600 calories a day. Two meals with one snack. I started out with 3 meals a day and they said your body will tell you when to eat so listen to it. I have been for about 6 months now. It was hard making the change and getting off a "schedule." talk to your dr and NUT as everyone is different. It also matters how much you are exercising. I do 1 to 1 1/2 hours every day.
