How many calories do you eat a day?
Not sure where I fall into the equation. I am 5 ft tall and for some reason 2000 calories seems like a lot for me?

Re: How many calories do you eat a day?
It is alot, way too much. I don't know your level of activity but more like 1200 is on target.
I am 5'6 very small frame & I eat around 1200.
EDIT- those Jenny Craig/ nutrisystem programs give around 900 calories.

Re: How many calories do you eat a day?
I would suggest less than 2000 if you are trying to lose weight. Also like the PP said it depends on your level of activity.
I do not count calories, but I would say I probably eat about 2000 calories daily. I am 5'7, athletic - medium frame, and I consider myself very active (I run ~ 45 miles a week and lift weights)

I've been on Jenny Craig and I was supposed to eat 1200 calories a day.

Re: How many calories do you eat a day?
I probably eat around 2000 calories a day... but I'm not trying to lose weight, I do exercise a lot, and I'm 5'6"... I think anything under 1200 or so calories would be too low, regardless of height or activity level. I would be constantly hungry & exhausted if I ate that little.

Re: How many calories do you eat a day?
I am not the most consistent eater - some days I probably have 1200 (not enough), other days I end up at 2000 but most days I think I end up somewhere around 1600.
Maybe it will help you figure it out if you calculate your basal metabolic rate?

Re: How many calories do you eat a day?
I am suppossed to eat 1300 calories/day to maintain my weight, based on some electro probe thing I had done a the gym, lol (I'm 5'4" 125lbs). I think that is not taking any excercise into account.
I probably eat 1500-2000day. I don't know how i maintain my weight, I feel like I eat like a cow. But I also have 2 young kids and I dont sit down all damn day, lol!

Re: How many calories do you eat a day?
I think I probably eat anywhere from 1500 - 2000 calories in a given day. However, I am 5'6", have a decent amount of muscle and work out(running and lifting weights) a lot. My activity level is pretty high.
