Calories while dieting

[teedubgee]

How many calories do you guys consume when you start dieting and where are you at when you're finished? I'm just trying to get a reference to compare myself. I've heard of people going below 2000 cals, but I would be starving then.

You could calculate your basal metabolic rate and then subtract 500 calories from that as a starting point.

Yeah, I actually start dieting at around 3800 cals. I was just wondering what other people diet at.

im sure i am probably dieting wrong but i just cut out the five white devils and seem to loose weight preyyt well. refined white sugar refined wight flour white potatoes salt and whole milk i have been able to find a substitute for each of them and am down 10 lbs as of today and i eat when ever i get hungry.
i have no idea on calorie counting im sure if the weight gets harder to loose ill have to look in to it.

I start when I go below 4K calories. I try not to cut below 2200. Im at about 2700 right now. Wanna stay above 2300 this time if I can.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks man, anyone else?

i start at 4k then go to about 3k on a workout day and 2300 on a non-workout day.
