What Is The Calorie Range You Aim For?

I am almost 3 months out and currently getting anywhere from 600-800 calories per day. I haven't yet gotten to 1000 calories. What target calorie range do you try to stay in?

That's great! At 5 months I TRY to stay at 800-900, but it's really easy for me to hit 1200 now. Unfortunately, I don't lose at 1200. Never have.

I'm at 3 months, too. I get anywhere from 750-900-ish. Depends on my food choices and my workouts.

Pre-approval phase 6 months I tried to stay at 800-900. I'm still on the liquid phase 3 weeks out and I'm hitting 300-350 just on liquids and luckily my one Pure Protein with skim milk consists of most of it in the am.

I will try to stay at 800-850 until I reach goal, going up only when I stall I will most likely up my carbs a bit, or when I'm doing heavy exercises, I will up my calories a tad, for energy.

i think everyone is so different i have been having major stalls and was told by the doc friday to up my calories to 1200 at least. that will be tuff considering i was averaging about 800 a day now i need a minimum of 400 more. i will try it for a week and see how it goes ??

I'm a little over three months out and get about 1,000 calories per day. I'm losing well. Looks like from your ticker you are too!
