Everyone has different thresholds and needs for caloric intake, so I tried to be pretty expansive in my list of options. Factors like weight, muscle mass, metabolism, and physical activity all contribute to our optimum intake for maintaining weight (or lost or gaining weight for those who need to). If my poll misrepresents you, you can always be more specific if you like. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

10,000 CALORIES Just kidding. I'm not exactly sure, though I think it's somewhere around 2,000. I've become a vegetarian within the past six months, and lately I've switched to soy products for a lot of things. I'll check the numbers. I'm interested to see what they'd be on a diet based on soy stuff. _________________ My name is actually Sarah. Facebook. Twitter. |

nobody should really be taking in less than 1200 calories a day unless they are leading one heck of a sedentary lifestyle. Myself, I aim for about 1300. _________________ guitarfreak217 wrote: Everyone, listen to Leigh. She knows what's up. theantrider wrote: My jaw hurts and I have an ulcer.

I used to be really careful with how many calories I ate, but since I've been in university it's been grilled cheeses & fries every day and I've gained 5 pounds. So yeah, my diet is gross... but I'm pretty sure I still eat under 2000 because I usually end up only having time for one meal a day. Ate my first yesterday at 10:30 p.m. Fun times. So, I'd guess 1000-1500. |

Around 2000 usually. Probably less since I started eating oatmeal for breakfast every day. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I really don't know. But I'm not unhealthy, I just don't see the need for me to keep track of how many calories I consume because I maintain a very stable weight. I've been within 5 lbs of 175 for the last 2 or 3 years. Before that I was as much as 210, then I cut out trans fat from my diet and started being aware of what I ate. |

it varies from day to day, depending on how busy i am, but i'd say between 1500-2500. it also depends on if i feel like cookie. _________________ http://thegirlinthebearhat.tumblr.com/ |
