Eurus, when I'm in "losing" mode I also tend to eat 1000-1100 calories before dinner. For "losing" I try to shoot for 1400-1600 calories/day, maybe one higher cal day at 1800-2000 for the week. I can maintain around 2000 cals per day when I'm being active. If I eat junk food I feel horrible and still very hungry, though.
Please poke around the stickies at the top of this forum, too. There have been many great conversations in this forum. I think "How many calories do maintainers eat" and "Is there a formula for maintenance" would particularly interest you. Some of us are very different and some of us are more similar when it comes to maintenance, but sharing our experiences and having each others support is invaluable.
