POLL- Count calories? How many calories do you eat a day?

[dxkj]

Just curious how many calories the average AT'er consumes.

remember, only vote if you know, and this is "on average"

You may need to increase the scale for the other 90% of ATOT.

I log and count everything I eat, so I'm pretty confident of my choice.

I'm guessing over 2500 a day but I'm the gym 5 days a week, so it's kind of a have-to thing

 

[rudeguy]

less than 1500...also cut my carb intake to less than 10 grams a day...in the past 5 days I have only taken in 15 carbs, and those were all in :beer:

Easyly 3000+ calories, haven't gained/loss more than 5 lbs in 7 yrs.

Like CPA I also log everything I eat. I have 1700 calories/day more days than not. Then on my "cheat" days I'll eat 3500-4500 depending on mood. Out of all the weight maintenance tactics I've tried this is both the most successful and most painless of all of them. I figure my maintenance calories are in the vicinity of 2500 or so. I have a little more weight to lose and then I'll aim for around 2400-2500 most days and then keep the cheat days there and see how that works. If I start to balloon, as the math would indicate I would, I'll have to lower the other calorie days.

So far today Ive had

cherry pie- 470 cal
hostest cakes- 360cal

and I have a 280 cal snickers bar here waiting for my next hunger pang.

I figure I usually do 2500, so I have another 1400 calories of healthy food later today 😛


I hate forgetting to pack lunch and being at the mercy of the vending machien gods

After a quick calculation I'm sitting around 1900 here at lunch....

44 oz. of soda
Cheetos (small bag)
Turkey+pickles+cheese+mayo+mustard+horseradish+wheat bread sandwich
Almond Snickers
Carrot Cake

amish

 

[Ranger X]

Too much. I'm a big puddle of calorie consuming lard. 😀

 

[amcdonald]

less than 1500 on average.
I only weigh 145 lbs though.

 

[Kadarin]

I'm usually between 1500-2000 per day, roughly.

 

[DT4K]

I've never thought I ate a ton, but then I counted a couple of times.
Each time was around 3500.
Hmmm, maybe that's why I need to lose 50 pounds.

 

[hdeck]

never count my calories.

hmmm .... RC cola has 160 per Can (I drink a lot of mountain Dew as well) .... theres an easy 1000 calories right there ...
lunch ... (2 quarter pounders, 2 bratworsts, etc ... whatever ... probably a bit under 1000 calories
then usually I have a pound of meat with 1 or 2 side dishes for dinner another 1000+ calories
Breakfast ... Some sort of pastry ... 300 or 400 calories ...
Snacks ... probably another 200 or 300 calories per day ...

Well, I am 17, but I am trying to lose weight. Id say I eat anywhere from 1500-2000, it varies.
