What's Your Daily Calorie Goal?



Recommended Posts

My nutritional guide does not recommend a specific number for my daily calorie intake. I have 1200 set in MFP now. How many are you trying to take in?

I found I lost consistant and very well at 1000. My dr started me off at 1500 and that wasnt working so we altered it. I would discuss it with him first because your activity level plays a big part in it.

I keep mine around 1200 and that is good. Some days I go up to 1600 or go as low as 900. According to my fitbit I always burn around 2000 calories or more a day and this last month I did loose 7 lbs. My doctor say I am doing fine.

i dont have an answer as its based on different things...my physical level is not as much as some and so i do not take in as many calories. this is what i do know and it works for me.

3500 calories is a pound whether you eat or drink it...if you consume more calories than you burn off, you will gain....since i cant run through the everglades, i dont take in as many calories.

Personally I eat about 1100 calories a day but my range is 1000-1300

As the others have said, it varies based on your activity level.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
