3 years post

[sjack 3]

Hi everyone, I wanted to see how many calories everyone is taking in. I’m 3 years post up still doing well but at a stand still want to try and drop a little more. I just started to get into working out but stuck on food intake. How many calories should I be taking in and has anyone did the pouch rest and has it helped?
Thank you all and hope everyone is doing well!!

that is going to vary A LOT depending on several factors - age, gender, metabolic rate, activity level, for example. Some people have to eat 1000 calories to maintain - some can maintain on 2000 (and some men can maintain on even more). Just from hanging out on these boards for the last few years, I would say somewhere in the 1200-1500 range is pretty common for women, but again, it's all very individual. I can maintain on 1700 and lose on 1500, but that's kind of on the higher end for women. You'll just have to experiment and see what level you can maintain at - and what level you'll start losing at. And of course, to figure this out, you'll have to start tracking your food intake (if you're not already doing that).
