5'4 female back on cutting again (was on for 8 wks, off for about 3 to reset everything, now back on), so I'm at about 1200-1800. I don't keep track of that on a daily basis though. I counted up the "usual" stuff I eat on an average day once and that was about 1350.

NJRipped said:I started much higher and gradually worked down until I cut fat. I was never in a rush to lose fat so I didn't just substantially cut calories one day. Regardless, with my diet the lower BMR just makes my meals go by faster; I don't eat for good taste.
Based on this post and some of your others, I feel sorry for you. Life is to short not to enjoy good food.

It's reasoning like this that makes people fatter everyday. Clinton subscribed to your philosophy and need a quadruple bypass and was out of shape most of his life. Perhaps NJ chooses to be in shape all the time rather than eat unhealthy foods. My guess is he feels sorry for those that are in poor shape because they can't give up the few minutes of pleasure they get from eating tasty foods. Try eating only for nutrition for a year and you wont even derive pleasure from greasy, high fat, highly processed foods.

There's nothing wrong with treating yourself every ones in a while. Good tasting food does necessarily mean greasy or processed either. But fat carries flavor so some fat is needed. You post seems stereotypical in that you don't name any foods that you say leads to a quadruple bypass surgury.
It's all a matter of perspective. The typical Walmart shopper (very fat) would say that the typical Elite mentality of indulging once a week is too extreme and you're missing out on life because you cannot indulge your desire for tasty food everyday. They're right, each of you has strong cravings for tasty food everyday but you deprive yourself six out of seven days of the week (i.e. most of the time). How do I know that you deprive yourself? Because you have a need for a cheat meal. Now what you must also honestly ask yourself is whether you are satisfied with your current physique? If you are not then, in essence, you are depriving yourself of the tasty foods 95% of the time and you still don't look good. 
I no longer have the desire for those bad foods. I simply eat to fuel my body (hence the name of my book "Eat to Fuel"). You can continue to feel sorry for me though.

Amen!! a good thick peanut butter choc protein shake, is what I look forward to every night before I go to bed!!! talk about pleasure!
Well, look at it this way: Your overall metabolic rate may be lower but because you are consuming quality foods (as opposed to processed junk) your are able to consume a higher quantity of foods since quality foods are much less calorie intensive. Although my overall metabolic rate is low (2300 cal), I am never hungry eating the foods I consume.

You're making a mistake by determining what your diet should be based upon unknown people refusing to post current pics on internet chat boards. How can you believe people who make claims that they can consume calories far beyond what experts in the field of nutrition have determined?
Why not just start at about 3500 calories and keep track of your BF levels. If you gain too much then cut down and if not very much then slightly increase.

I put 1800-2300. Currently cutting my fat ass (hopefully) to shreds in a few months. Usually get about 200g of protein, 30g carbs, 70g fat, 1500cal, which is temporary. I'm starting to throw in PW carbs and protein to put the total at 1800-2300.

Im starting my cutting tomorrow, and im getting just under 2000cals. right now Im 5'6 about 190 and prob 15-17%bf
my plan is cardio 3-4 times a week mod intensity for 30 mins and hope to get down closer to 10% bf, Im really tired of my family's eating habits and the shit food they consume because they are to lazy to cook,so Im taking a stand against it and doing things my way for once. im sure just cutting the shit fast food out will drop me considerably in bf
