Doesn't sound bad to me at all. So long as you're still losing you're golden. Might have to shake it up a little if you stall but you are rocking it. Congrats on the loss so far! If you're really worried call your NUT but it seems ok to me

Sounds like you're doing everything right. I try to stay around 800, but I'm just 3 months post-op and will see my surgeon April 2nd to ask how much I should be eating now

Seems perfectly reasonable for your weight and activity level.

WITH YOU WEIGHT LOSS YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT FOR SURE GOOD JOB KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!!!!

I would be inclined to keep things on the lower end of your range. I did fine at 1100 avg. but that fit my metabolism well. I started about 50 lb lower than you are now, so I only had about 100lb to lose, and was near done at six months (was actually trying to slow things down at that point, and stretch out that last 10 lb loss to avoid excessive overshoot.) Our loss rate tends to decline as we lose, simply because there is less of us to move around all day long - it takes fewer calories to move 300 lb than it does 400 lb, etc.) So, while your loss rate is pretty good now, you still have another 100-150 lb (?) to go, and it is easy to let the intake increase over time as we get used to things (you can likely eat more at a sitting now than three months ago, and that will continue slowly over time)

I currently maintain at in the 2000-2200 calorie range. As you have a similar loss rate to what I had, this implies that currently you would likewise maintain in the same range; however, with further loss, your maintenance level will likely be lower, , maybe 500 calories or so lower - all very rough estimates here. But this indicates that you probably shouldn't go any higher than your current 1100 if you want to get down to a normal-ish weight range, and preferably cut it back a bit and go closer to the 800 end of your range.

Good luck in your continued success....

800 to 1100 is great.
