I have been experimenting with a low calorie diet and have been able to
drop
15 lbs rather quickly, along with exercise. I have been eating primarily
fruit, veggies and fish.
I want to go back to my low carb living, maybe trying induction again, but
wanted to ask what the daily calorie intake is for most of you??
I have read in order to loose weight, you need to eat 15x your body weight
in calories if you are active and 13x your body weight if you inactive. Do
any of you live by that??

I seem to average 1800-2300ish/day; the only reason I know this is because
fitday tells me but I don't count them or base my food intake on them at
all...and I'm inactive...if that helps any .

I think the rule of thumb is to eat 10-12 times your current body weight
if you want to lose weight and down to 8 if THAT doesn't work. For
myself, I need to eat between 1200-1400/day in order to lose weight, and
even then it takes some time. I am also more inactive than average.
