Calorie Limit

Do you think 1500 calories is too much? I weigh 226 right now, i dont know if that makes a difference. I was trying to eat 1200 or less but i was so hungry. Tonight after dinner, i had a couple extra snacks because i was so hungry. It brought my daily calorie intake up to 1494 after dinner. I am still hungry, and its only 5:30! I am trying my hardest not to eat anything else, but im really hungry!
Any suggestions?


First of all, depending on where you were before, you may not want to cut that many calories all at once. Also, have salads until the cow comes home (vinegar dressing only), they will add minimal calories and solve hunger problems...

Thanks Ladies :)
I am exercising about 3 days a week, 30 minutes each. I binged last night big time, i think it just wasnt enough food for me. I am used to eating so much, like based on what ive recorded the past few weeks, on an average day i probably consumed between 3000-4000 calories a day. So going cold turkey like that was too hard! I am going to try to aim for 1500, but maybe go
Hi Jenn:
If I were eating 1200-1400 cal. a day I would be STARVING!!! I have found that if I stay in the 1500-1700 range and get some regular exercise I will lose weight at a slow and reasonably steady rate and at the same time not feel too deprived. Some days I go a little over and some a little over, but I try to stay in this range. I have lost 50 lbs this way in the past. I think as my weight goes down, I may have to re-adjust my range down a little, but at 200+ lbs. we need more cal. just to move around !:).
I'm not low carbing, but I have found that eating a little more protien and healthy fat helps alot to keep hunger at bay.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot for all your help! I think the reason I th ought 1200 was because that was how I lost weight 4 yrs ago, but i was also 150 lbs, and i didnt really take that or my exercising into consideration. Its good to know that
