[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are you? I am 50 and my doctor told me 800/day to lose weight and 100 to maintain.

Not sure how 700 is so shocking. [/quote]

I'm 49, I'm guessing I'm larger than you are because my doctor, and the NIH calculator both agree that I should be eating somewhere between 1200 and 1500 calories to lose weight.

The 700 was shocking, only because before I started on my diet, if I'd eaten 700 calories for breakfast and lunch, I still would have been hungry at dinner.

Yesterday, when I posted that, I had eaten the following:

Breakfast:

A couple scrambled eggs with butter
A caramel sea salt and almond kind bar

Lunch:

The filling of a sandwich, without lettuce instead of bread.

Now, if I'd had eggs and pancakes, and the same sandwich with bread, and nothing else, I would have been hungry at dinner time. Not starving, but not posting on DCUM to crowdsource whether I should dinner.  To me, the difference in my appetite is quite remarkable. [/quote]
