    Hi there! I'm a newbie who's just starting her weight-loss journey, and I was wondering how many calories per day you successful ladies consume? I've dropped about 8 pounds so far just eating less than I used to and exercising more, but I know that "guesstimating" calories will only get me so far!

    Your daily calorie allotment depends on your height, age, activity level, and how much you want to lose per week (1-2lbs is recommended). You can go from the 3FC homepage to Diet Tool Box then click on calculators. There is a calc there for daily calorie needs.

    Hi there,

    I don't count calories during the day, but when I count at the end of the day out of curiosity, I eat around 1500 calories.

    I eat around 1500 for the day. This was given to me by my dietitian.

    1500 is the magic number for me too!

    I try to stay at around 1200 calories but I sometimes go over/under.
