Average daily calories?

[Miab]

Can you guys share how many calories you eat on a daily basis? I've been trying to keep mine around 1500 and wonder if I should be eating more..

I'm starting my second week of induction, and for the past 4 days, I've averaged 1500 calories. But I had a day as low as 1200 and one over 1700. I really haven't been looking at calories right now, but have been concentrating on being less than 20 carbs and seeing the right ratio between fat/carb/protein (65 - 30 - 5). I don't even worry about the ratio being perfect; I just want it to be close.

So far it's working.

And I feel confident that it is less calories than I used to be, because when I "carb loaded" it wasn't always "clean carbs"...it was usually starch or sugar with a heavy dose of fat, which I suppose is probably the worst combination for anyone.

Miab, the recommended range for women is 1500-1800, so you are in the ballpark.
