What's Your Daily Calorie Goal?

My nutritional guide does not recommend a specific number for my daily calorie intake. I have 1200 set in MFP now. How many are you trying to take in?

my daily calorie intake is about 1630 to 1650, but my dr and dietician tell me that i should would about that too much and eat at between 25 to 30 grams of protein at each meal

I found I lost consistant and very well at 1000. My dr started me off at 1500 and that wasnt working so we altered it. I would discuss it with him first because your activity level plays a big part in it.

I keep mine around 1200 and that is good. Some days I go up to 1600 or go as low as 900. According to my fitbit I always burn around 2000 calories or more a day and this last month I did loose 7 lbs. My doctor say I am doing fine.

i dont have an answer as its based on different things...my physical level is not as much as some and so i do not take in as many calories. this is what i do know and it works for me.

3500 calories is a pound whether you eat or drink it...if you consume more calories than you burn off, you will gain....since i cant run through the everglades, i dont take in as many calories.

Personally I eat about 1100 calories a day but my range is 1000-1300

As the others have said, it varies based on your activity level.

I do 1000-1200 also. And at least 70 grams of protein. Kime-Lou, what is fitbit?
