Canada - how many calories?

I'm curious, once on solid food, how many calories are you consuming in a day and what kind of foods are you eating to get proper nutrition and enough calories to survive?

Personally....I have no idea. I'm not currently (nor planning to) actually count calories. If I do, it is too much like a "diet" to me and I can't stand doing that. I'm just eating "healthy" & making wise choices/decisions. So far so good.

Hi: I track my daily intake on the Spark website and find I am eating between 1,000 and 1500 calories a day. With exercise that amounts to about 1 lb a week or less which is what I am told I must be accomplishing. Measuring the food 3 0z protein and 1/2 cup carbs or 1 cup protein,veggies in my opinion is more important than counting calories. Doddie

Woody....do I see 0 lbs to go. You are at 125!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations

WOW

Awesome

I dont really count calories per se, but I do from time to time do a tally for the day just to make sure that I am not starting to over eat.

I normally fall into the 1400-1700 cal per day. I think sometimes I should be eating more as 6' man burning about 900 cal per workout in addition to my BMR but I will stick to what is currently working.

Woody, shouldn't we be asking you? You have reached your goal. Congratulations. I am curious.. how do you stop losing weight once you are where you want to be? I don't count calories. I really do think I need to get more protein in a day. I may be lacking there.
