How Many Calories Should I Have At 10 Months Out

[aliandrews 98]

Just curious. I know this has been posted before, sorry. I am 10 months out and try to have about 800 calories a day. I feel I can have more but don't know if I should up them or not. I don't want to go too high. What is the highest amount anyone has had and still lost weight?

Everyone is different as to what calorie intake. Plus carbs, sugar and Protein account for as much as your calories. So, I would track all of the above and try to add in more calories. If you are worried about adding weight, do protein. If you are trying to maintain, add protein and carbs and see how your body reacts in two weeks.

This journey is a learning experience.

I have gotten out of the habit of tracking calories but I was averaging 1200 calories previously and still losing. At my six month follow-up appointment, the PA suggested I stay closer to 1000 calories since I still had 5lbs to go before reaching my goal of 140. I didn't feel comfortable with that suggestion knowing I get faintish during spin class when my calories are that low. I guess you have to find what works for you.
