The 2000cal a day diet...

[Tiberius]

...or so I was told. I consume more like 3,500 calories a day and people have described it as repulsive and disgusting. Then there are those who are envious because I don't put on any weight from it. Oh, and during sports seasons, I like to consume 4,500 calories. Any one else out there eat grotesque amounts of food? *looks over at John*

[Mzor203]

I... actually eat insane amounts of food.

Two nights ago I downed 8 slices of pizza easy.

WITH ice cream after.

Granted that was a lot, but I eat a ton usually, never counted the calories, but yeah.

Now let's take into account the fact that I weigh only 100 lbs.

[Bougainvillea]

I eat plenty of food. I don't put weight on. It's weird. I weigh 141 lbs.

[Rutherford The Brave]

I have to eat alot of calories because of my size but I don't I prefer to eat less, that might be why I am so skinny.

[Antares]

I weight at most 130 pounds. I am very skinny yet kinda tall. About 5'10 now
I can eat a LOT of food per day. I usually try to not to because I feel like its finally starting to catch up with me.
I don't know the calories because I have never counted but I will guess I take in around...2,500-3,000 calories per day. According to health class where we kind of did that.

[The Joker]

I eat a lot but I never ever have the appearance of fat.

WOW!
I try to eat around 800 calories a day, because I have a short stature.
I am a perfect weight, not overweight, not underweight.
I usually plan it out, 120 for breakfast, 200 or something like that for lunch, and then 480 for dinner, snacks, or extras.
I am 5'1 (I grew 2 inches in the past 2 months!) and I weigh 128 pounds.

you'd be dead it takes that much energy to cosume the food.

[Triceratops]

For a woman it's 2,000 calories and for a man it's 2,500 calories. I think.

Exactly.

[RobbieDixon]

The 2000 Calorie Diet only works if your trying not to gain weight and you like what weight your at....

[JackOfClubs]

Normally I eat about 2500-3500 calories a day. But I'm at home, and I eat a lot more than that as my grandma doesn't understand the word 'no'.

[Stevo 69]

It's recomended that females eat 2000 and guys eat 2500 calories, it's a guideline to go by for average people.

I eat much less than that, I would say about 1500, most of my meals are salad or veg and small portions, don't eat many snacks, thats all I need really.

[Krafty]

I usually only eat once a day, But I eat A LOT of ice cream, and that probably makes me have enough calories. And fat grams, for that matter.

[AllThatIsLeft]

Well i try to stay in the 1000-1500 range.
I fail miserably, as sometimes i eat too much, and something nothing at all.
but weight wise i go from 125-135, and most of it, i'd say 75%, is muscle anyways :P

[Tiberius]

Yes, Paula, I know that it's muscle ;)

Here is something i stumbled upon while browsing internet

first link is basically a description of teens and what a teen need
http://download.esha.com/docs/teendescription.pdf

second one is a 7 day meal plan that is recommending average intake of 200 calories a day for females

Third link is 800 calories that males should have so in total they eat 2800 calories a day.

This might answer some of your questions :)

[Tiberius]

I didn't have any question about my diet, I was more wondering of other people's consumtion habbits.

[overcome.]

When I'm weight training properly, maintaining/bulking up, I'm consuming say 3200-3500 calories a day. I go for high protein, high carb, high calorie. I eat all sorts, don't really hold back as I stay pretty lean. I'll divide my food into say 4-5 food meals a day plus a meal replacement shake or something, plus 2-4 litres of water on the day.

That's before I got ill, before I had problems. Right now I'm not training anymore than twice a week and not eating too much. Things will change, everybody has different eating habits, mine will pick up again.
