I eat 1700 calories a day plus any calories I burn biking/running. But Calorie counts on most foods are estimates and are not always super accurate, so if I start gaining weight, I lower my daily calories down to 1500-1600.

I’m 30 y/o male 5’10 175-180 9-10% body fat. I eat anywhere 4500-5500/ day based on how I’m feeling and train 25hrs/week. I don’t calorie count (former bodybuilder so I am skilled at ballparking) and find I lose fat at 4500, maintain 5500 and get overtrained if i go below 4500.

I am learning that I don’t eat enough in this thread.

I have no idea how many calories I eat. I try to eat healthy and eat when I’m hungry and try not to overeat. I just try to be aware of whether I’m eating because I’m hungry or just eating to eat.

I have a published 7-day food journal here that I did way back in 2017. To answer your question directly it was 7-day / 32,606 calories which comes out to 4,658 a day

I’ve seen more than one person say they consume 4-6k calories per day on plenty of fruits and vegetables and a modest amount of meat and bread. Lmao!!! There is no effing way people are eating 4-6k of calories of fruits and veggies. It’s pretty obvious who’s not being honest with themselves.

You will see how your performance improves.
I was like you. I was always hungry but didn't allow myself to eat. I now always eat as much as I'm satisfied with. My performance on the bike AND run improved. I recover better and have much more energy to train.
I have no idea how much I really eat but it is a lot.

I eat a little much and should probably start a food journal. I eat probably 2500-3000. I eat generally pretty healthy but I work in film which has craft services so there is probably 300 calories of cookies worked in on days I’m not careful.

I think to maximize progression you should eat the most calories u can in a day without getting fat. I bet I eat 1000 calories as snack sometimes lol
