Maintainers -- post your daily caloric/carb intake!

Please post your daily calories/carbs, the level at which you are maintaining your weight. TIA.

I don't track anymore, but I would say including beverages I'm at about 35 carbs a day. No idea on calories!

I maintain at about 2400-2500 calories (big guy) and lose very slowly at 2200 and quickly at 2000. I NEVER go below 2000.
I have been watching my step and staying in the 2300-2500 range all year and have to be vigilant because, unless I take care I can easily slide up to 3000 calories and blubber city!

Part of my problem is that a couple of decades ago I could easily eat 3000 and maintain. Our metabolisms change quickly but habits tend to remain constants unless constantly cajoled!

According to the Albert Einstein Medical College CCARB study I'm in my calorie intake is approx 1800 to 2000 and carbs average 60 -70 per day.
Sometimes I drop down to 20 - 30.

My average for maintenance is 1800-2000 calories per day and 40-50g of carbs. If I go up a pound or two I'll drop back to 1600-1700 calories and no more than 30g of carbs for a few days.
