I just back into exercising, my hubby has been sick he is feeling better so I am back on track. I think it is the slider foods I have been eating lately that has called the weight gain, do you typically eat during the day.

I'm 5'10", but have a guy's metabolism with a fairly high lean mass (which is mostly what drives the resting metabolic rate) and a regular exerciser - not as extreme as some but better than most in that regard. I have been adjusting the input some since I went into a orthopedic rehab mode about three months ago, so exercise intensity has been down, but I have been allowing it to creep back up into the 2000 range as exercise has increased some again (tho not up to where it had been a few months ago.) On the other hand, a high energy breed puppy has been added to the mix, so physical activity time has increased.

During the losing phase I ate 600-800 calories. In the first few months I ate closer to 300-500 calories, all protein, then slowly went up to 600 calories and approached 800 by six months. I am now in maintenance and I eat about 1800 calories when I exercise and 1200 when I don't.

I am 3 months out and try to stick to the standard 600-800 cals, 70-85grams of protein and under 40 grams carbs. I find I'm mostly around 700 cals/day. Some days that's a struggle depending on how I feel.

Worked my way slowly up to 600-800 cals and stayed there till goal.

Now I'm really at goal, but still trying to get a little leaner so my normal daily intake is around 900-950, and an occasional off-plan weekend day can shoot as high as near 2000, so averaged weekly intake somewhere around 1100-1200/day. It's been working well for me, and my weight/BF% trend is still slowly going down.

I am 7.5 months out from surgery and I try to stay between 600-800 calories. Some days are tough but I push through. It feels like a good number and keeps my weight loss stable and consistent. I lost about 2-3 pounds per week right now...with a good 2 week pause every now and then.

Up until recently, I was consistently 600-800 calories a day. At five and a half months out, I now stay more between 700-900 most days, with an occasional peak at 1,000. I typically keep my carbs under 40 (under 50 on days when I plan to do lengthy sessions of intense cardio, since I'm training for my first 5k run). Protein is my primary source of calories still... I usually get in at least 100 grams of protein a day.

I m 8 months out and eat 700 to 800 calories a day. At 1000 I gain weight so just because you can eat that much doesn't mean you should. Early out my max was 600 per day and really early out my goal was to just get 30 grams of protein in and water.
