What’s your daily caloric intake?
Posted on 1/6/19 at 10:44 pm
Posted on 1/6/19 at 10:44 pm
When you are not dieting and just maintaining your healthiest weight?
I tend to stay around 1800-2000 with no breakfast most weekdays. Weekends it’s probably closer to 2000-2500 with alcohol consumption and “bad” foods.
What’s your norm? And what’s your biggest calorie intake meal of the 3?
Looks to be some damn good cooks that frequent this board and I’m curious how you manage when you have such gifts hahahaha

Dieting 1800 then work down to 1650
Not dieting, not sure but guess around 2500
I am pretty active. Lift weights and/or train jiu jitsu 5-6 days a week
My biggest "meal" is dinner, if you include the chilly cow/enlightened ice cream.
If you form aome habits like this, they carry over to when you are not dieting. So when I am not caring, I still have low calorie days, and just splurge on that meal out, etc when I want to
Eta i weigh 175 currently. I just started a diet, aimed for 168 before I go on a diet break. Ultimate goal is 160 this summer.

Are you asking what we actually eat? Or what our technical maintenance calorie average is?
My TDEE is 1288.
When not trying to lose weight, I basically aim to still eat at a deficit on weeknights so that the restaurant food and copious amounts of alcohol on the weekend doesn't make me fat.
Like Milo said, habits have formed at this point so even when I'm not weighing/tracking my consumption, it isn't too out of control. I have days where I get way out of hand.. and days where I barely eat anything. It all averages out.

I only eat 2x per day. Dinner is usually the bigger one of the two, but I'll occasionally do the reverse.

In the 15k range

I agree with you and Milo about the habits forming. Which is why I have never been a fan of “diets” per se. It’s gotta be a lifestyle to have a weight maintained.
Speaking of maintaining- what’s the most you have gained in a weekend? Starting on a Friday and hitting the scale Monday morning.
I’ve gained 8 and routinely put on 5-6 and have to get it off by Wednesday usually.
Walt, particularly interested in your reply.

When watching what I eat, 1200-2000. It just varies.
On vacation or a day of cooking and eating at a friend's house, I guarantee I've gone over 15k.
This was one meal a while back. I didn't eat for two days after

216 carbs? That’s more than I eat in a week.

Damn, are you 4' 11" and 75 lbs? (Sorry, if you are....not making fun, just saying that's a depressingly low number.)
I probably average 1500-2000 daily. A bit lower when I'm not in the office, where snacks, candy, doughnuts, king cake, and other things magically appear & are eaten out of boredom/proximity.

4'9", 100lbs. What really sucks is my torso is extremely short (any height I have is in my legs) so even 100lbs isn't "ideal" as far as summertime swimsuit wearing goes. At 100lbs, I have more stomach rolls than my tall friends who weigh 50lbs more. A plus is that shedding 5lbs looks like shedding 20. But a con is that it takes a few months to lose 5lbs.
And yes, it is depressingly low. The things most people don't have to worry about, like an extra 50 calories here and there from not measuring dressings/beverages, make a big difference. Lost 20lbs in 2017-2018 and it was only possible by using a scale and measuring every ingredient in exact grams.

You would be wrong.
I usually stop logging if I'm near 6k calories.
On a game day that's typically by noon.
I've only lost as much weight as I have by logging every single thing that I eat unless it's a game day I'm cheating on.

What does 15k calories look like

A pound of ribeye, which is pretty damn caloric dense, is 1200 calories so you mean to tell me you ate the equivalent of over 10 pounds of steak in once day.
I find that incredibly hard to believe.

Georgia game day. Steak, cheese omelette, bacon, 2 biscuits, a few drinks, some boudin dip, a few snacks while setting up the grill.... Boom 6k calorie breakfast.
In my defense, when lifting I used to try to eat 10-12k calories
And only by logging everything that goes into my mouth have I broken the habit of eating whatever I want whenever I want.
I'm down 70 or 80lbs so far with another 50 to go. If that's any indication.

If you ate an XL hand tossed pep and sausage pizza from Domino's, washed it down with a 20oz coke, and had a pint of Ben and Jerry's American Dream you'd be looking at 4,880 calories. That's one meal, times it by 3 if a person is really going on a eating bender and you got 15k
shite, they can easily drink 1k worth of calories alone. Factor in calorie bombs like ice cream, pizza, fried chicken etc and it's not that crazy

A Costco pizza has over 4k calories.
For the record.

You ate a 1.5 lb steak for breakfast?
