Your Results: You need 2086 calories to maintain your current weight You need to eliminate 500 calories a day to lose weight. We recommend you do that by a combination of diet and exercise, e.g., eat 200 fewer calories and burn 300 calories through exercise.

wow..that one gave my calories almost twice as much as what I normally eat. If I ate all the calories this one said I'd weigh a ton!!

I try to stick to 1200 to 1500 calories a day, that is when I'm not stressing out and eating everything in sight...maybe this calculator psychically knows my stress patterns. lol

It gave me way more than I regularly eat too, and I already eat alot. Which is probably why Domi thinks Im fat.

Interesting. It gave me more calories than what I need to eat as well.

I thought that the rule of thumb for weight maintenance was your weight multiplied by 10. This gave over 700 MORE a day. That would be even more than is needed while nursing.

It did the same to me.

I don't pay attention to calories. My diet is an equation of protein, carbs, fiber and fat (weight watchers). I know what I need to eat to lose, and I know what I need to eat to maintain. I've lost 80 pounds in the last 2 years so I'd say it's working out pretty well for me.

4035 calories. In my case it fits. I'm trying to get huge as fuck. I already eat 4220 a day. At least until the end of June. Then its down to 1900 net a day. If I wasn't lifting these amount of calories would have me round as hell. Maybe they have a different definition of what moderately active means.

Completely out of whack, with 2800 to 3000 a day, I lose about 2 pounds each week, if I'd eat 1000 cals less a day, my body would go into starvation mode

I don't do the calories thing, nor do I do the regular eating times thing, I just eat when I'm hungry and of that mostly complex carbs intersperced with fish, dried fruit and grains. I try to arrive at what would be considered a dancer's diet, as that diet seems to be best for me, the more activity the more I eat, the less activity the less I eat.

Recently someone told me I was too thin, but I am happy with that, as I have no beer gut or excess fat and I can move well without running out of energy and sometimes that on not eating for a day or two. My weight has been constrant now for the last seven years and it was constant before that since my teens.

But somatotype body type I believe comes into it more than the calories thing, and with that I am an ectomorph and yes it does run some parallels with the Ayurvedic tridosha system, which I have also studied,as myself having a particular interest in ancient Indian thought..

Way off for me as well. It says 2500 calories per day for me, I haven't done that much since I was trying to bulk up back in college and currently maintain eating around 1500 a day.

I have been having a lot of success on a 350 calorie diet. This site suggested 3500. I'll take that as an omen rather than advice.
