calorie intake

what is the range of calorie intake that we are to have???

SORRY.. that was a pretty open ended question...

I am 3 1/2 years out from RNY and my cousin is about a year and a half from RNY .

I just did the 5 day pouch test to get refocused and break a habit of carbs...I feel much better after doing it..
I am tracking my foods and the APP (Lose it, allows for any exericse) on my iphone wants a calorie target...I was talking with my cousin and we have a 300-400 difference in the total. I had my surgery in the states and she had her's at Guelph... I need a reasonable range to work with.
Thanks..

Sorry. That is a pretty open ended question.
Where are you on the process.

I know I had a test done to see what calories I was using at rest.  It was around 1400 (I'm almost 5'8" ymmv) so with a little bit of of exercise and just living, I'm maintaining at approx1600-1800 cals per day.  Short of that if you are tracking your calories, average them out over a month or so, see where your weight has gone in that time period and adjust accordingly.  If you've gained on say 1600 cals per day, go to 1400 for a few weeks and see how you do.  I think there is a great deal of difference between people in how much they can consume according to exercise level, height, body type, metabolism, etc.,  It's definitely not a one size fits all for calories.

Is your goal losing or maintaining? Active or sedentary?

Did you get a test at a fitness center? They are quacks.

1200 is pretty standard as a calorie level for healthful losing. If you don't lose at 1200, increase your activity level until you do. Shorter people may go to 1000.
