How many calories should we be eating per day? Or how many calories are you eating per day?

I don't count calories tbh.. I aim ( most of the time) for around 60-70% Protein, high fat and very low carb (from veg only)..

Counting calories never got me any where ever lol

Really depends how far out from surgery you are and what your activity level is. Immediately post-op, I was lucky to get in 300-450 calories a day. I worked hard to push my calories up over 800 ASAP so I could start doing some light exercise. I would say I got there somewhere in my soft food phase? Then once I was on solid foods and adjusted pretty well, I was aiming for 1100 so I could start intense cardio. For most of my weight loss phase I was eating around 1400 calories a day and doing cardio and strength training 5-6 days a week. Now I am in maintenance. When I am training for a race (I run half marathons and marathons), I eat about 2200-2400 calories a day. When I'm not in training I eat around 1900 calories a day.
