question about calories

My doctor told me i should be getting in 1000 calories, but to stop eating when I'm full. I get full before I eat all my calories. What's the average amount of calories does everyone take in?

I was told 900-1200 and I do 800 or less and it works great for me.Get your protein and fiber and water I think is more important extra on days you work out I use my protient shake for those days

When i was still losing steadily, I took in 800-1200 calories perday. Everyday was different. This was ok for me until I got down to the last 30 lbs and I stalled again. I was told to eat more and that took me time to learn to do. My trainer increased my calories to 1250 daily and it took me about 2 weeks before I was able to achieve this but once I did I was able to lose weight again. Since being at goal I have struggled with eating over 1200 calories. I am suppose to eat 1400-1600 calories now and I still only average between 1100-1200 calories aday, thus I continue to lose weight. I have to eat constantly during the day, at least 3 snacks in order to get all my calories in. If you are losing weight, and are not hungry and healthy do not worry about the additional calories as long as you are getting your protein in. If not have a shake.

This topic is frustrating my whole world right now. I can barely get in 800 calories..and was so ticked off when my loss slowed...and the nutritionist said Im going into starvation mode, and my body will hold on to the weight...so overwhelming

I'm supposed to do 1500/day and it's almost impossible unless I eat food that we're told not to eat. I've been able to manage through protein drinks and, um... martinis. Calories, right? :D
