why do you need to know? Hasn't your weight been constant in the past? If it has, then just continue to eat in the same way. Unless you are currently losing or gaining weight, against your wishes, you dont need to change anything.
Trial and error is the only way to find how much to eat for a certain response, imo

well ive been dieting for some time now and have been eating 1200 calories a day. that was with 2 hours exercise a day, but for the last 10 days or so i havent lost any more wieght but have stayed the same. but im assuming that cannot be what i need to do in order to maintain my current weight(surely i should be able to eat more and exercise less). im happy with my weight now and just want to know how much i should eat to maintain my current weight. i should mention that i wont be doing any exercise. thanks for replying, i realy appreciate it, im just realy scared about puting on weihgt. im thinking of about 1500-1800 a day?

I'm 5"9 and i weigh 9 stone and 3/4 and i'm thin you should eat at least 2000 calories a day, but you don't need to diet anyway more bulk up.
I'm 1 inch taller than you and I have a good 50 pounds on you.
Seriously man, you're a runt, you need to hit the weights, I bet you look like an Ethiopian. If you've been dieting until recently you may well have self image problems.
The malnourished look isn't a good one.
Incidentally, I eat 3000-3500 calories per day, and I'm bulking.

Ok i am into 'indie' (i suppose) and get called skinny all the time (though i think i'm average)... i eat maybe around 2200-2600 a day depending how i am feeling and am 10.5 stone and 5'10.. you sound really underweight and in fact a bit anorexic .... only eating 1200 a day??!!?!?! i couldn't do that if i tried my hardest.. its hard enough to only eat 2500!
OMG im also 5ft9'', FEMALE and i weigh over 10st! I dont even look fat, im a size 10/12, i work out quite a bit and eat healthy. You must be seriously underweight - whats your bmi? Seriously dude get a few burgers down you and head to the gym. DONT DIET!
im not underweight, bmi is rubbish. if u saw me you wouldnt think im underweight at all, ive got a bit of a tum as well. i just want to know how many calories i can eat without puting on weight. how many do u eat?

Are you crazy? Why are you scared of putting on weight? How old are you?

how many calories do you eat a day? are you male?

It depends on your activity level. How active are you?
well throughout the summer i was doing 3 hrs a day. but for the last 4 days i havent done any exercise at all becuase i feel pretty burnt out, drained so im not going to be doing anymore. so basicaly im not active at all currently and wont be for some time.

Why are you dieting. You need to bulk up. Not lose weight.
If you want to stay the same wieght it simple. Eat when your hungary and not just bored or to be socialble.

but im always hungry! i would never stop eating!
average for a man should be about 2500 apparently... to just stay the same.
but im smaller and lighter than the average UK male.
