I honestly have no idea. I measure and record everything I eat to find how much insulin to take, but I don't note the calorie totals. It might be around 1500 or less. I used to really obsess about my daily calorie total but recently I think it's healthier to not worry about it. Well, I added today up for this thread and I'm up to 974 at 7pm. _________________ j'ai pas envie d'être un robot, métro boulot dodo -Kelli |

On a normal day, I'll work, which means I dont't eat dinner, and besides that, I eat very small portions, so I'd say I probably eat a little over 1000 calories a day. _________________ check out my art blog! |

I've never kept track. I guess get what I need, because my weight hasn't changed very much over the past few years. I think I've only gained about 15 pounds since 9th grade which was like 8 years ago lol. Most of that was muscle from this summer doing yard work. I've been meaning to keep track for a while now, but I'm too lazy to measure the cereal I eat for breakfast. Wonder how much is in 3 bowls or honey bunches of oats or something like that? Besides that, I eat homemade stuff so don't really know what all that adds up to either. _________________ |

I have no idea. It really varies. Some days I just won't get to east more than one meal, while otheres I just eat CONSTNANTLY. My erratic eating habits are annoying and probably unhealthy. I don't bother counting calories either, because I swim (I don't think I would count 'em even if i didn't though.) |

It depends. During the summer probably like um...1400-1500? Gotta get my Freedman's bagels/donuts, Jersey pizza, subs, and Surf Taco in. Every day. During school, like 800-900. I eat only twice a day, which is terrible since I'm Hypoglycemic, but I'm too stressed to eat in the mornings, plus the food generally sucks here. |

Are the people on here with normal eating habits just not responding to this thread? Or are you all underestimating how many calories you eat. For example, a chicken ceasar salad from chilis is over 1000 calories. If you go out afterwards for a grande mocha and a chocolate chip cookie, you're looking at 330 more for the mocha, and 450 for the cookie. that's nearly 1800 calories just dinner and dessert. I think you guys are in denial. I could be wrong, though. If I followed my normal eating habits, it would be around 2500 cals a day. but, I'm a girlie girl who is obsessed with losing weight, so I aim for about 1200, and end up around 1800. You shouldn't go below 1200 calories on a regular basis, it's dangerous. Seriously, it's bad for your brain. I've tried, and it's not worth it. _________________ You can't find love; you have to create it. Flickr |

Thanks for making my day haha. |

I agree with cyn....It's soo easy to take in double what you should be taking in. Thats why I have to be so mindful of everything. You can learn a lot by reading the back of the box. _________________ guitarfreak217 wrote: Everyone, listen to Leigh. She knows what's up. theantrider wrote: My jaw hurts and I have an ulcer.

I've gained a bit of weight, so I'm kinda on a diet. When I'm on a diet I eat about 1000-1500 calories. WHen I'm not i probably do 1500-2000 + only because I know that the next day i will be on a diet. I need to stick to it lol. _________________ Kneel before your god Babylon!

Undernourishing your body is not the way to go in that department. I would suggest a HEALTHY dose of calories per day (let's say 1500+) and ssome exercise. Find something you really enjoy doing and try to finda time and place to perform that near-daily. |
