How many calories do you eat a day?

You can't even survive on this surely! Not for long anyway...

Either lies or you're horribly malnourished.



I'd say about 3000 on average for me, though it varies a lot.

Yep. You also don't just instantly die if you don't eat 1800 calories a day which a lot of people seem to think for some reason.

A couple with drastically low estimates does indicate many with incorrect estimates. You don't even need to have done maths gcse to know that...
It's not a matter of honesty, it's a matter of statements that aren't based on facts; so that wasn't what you were asking.

I wouldn't say a couple indicates many. And it's not nonsense to ask someone why they feel in a position to say whether people are being honest or not.

oh, and btw I used to eat around 300 calories a day. for a long time. and I still fell in the healthy weight category. so who knows, maybe the 600 a day people aren't totally inaccurate.

That's sick. I'm not just being horrible, it really is...

I'd say only one or two seemed unrealistic, the rest didn't seem out of the ordinary to be honest. It's likely that most people who have clicked on this thread actually do have a good idea of what their intake is. It's not like it's a random sample group.

i cba to argue with the last bit. she made a comment she thought was about right, I thought it was a bit presumptuous, who really cares?

I was sick, nobody eats 300 calories a day without having something a little wrong lol. my point was just that I still weight 7 stone which is only a few lb of my 'ideal' weight.

Used to be 300 calories a day.

I eat alot at the moment though lol...800 cals D:

Can you give examples of what you'd eat and drink in a day which would make up this 300 calorie diet, or even the 800 one.

Um when i ate 300 i guess it was anything i could get my hands on...soup/fruit/snack a jacks mainly. Anything i didnt have to cook. Smoothies too.
If you want an example of what i had today - fish and veg an apple, an orange 2 cups of hot chocolate.
