Calories Per Day?

How many calories per day does everyone consume here?

Age-15; Height-5"11; Weight-185lb
NEW MAXES
Hang Clean- 235 lbs (8/11)
Bench Press- 205 lbs (8/8)

About 1600 on normal cutting days, maybe 2k or so on "cheat" days. However when I was 15 I was probably consuming 3500 on average and only weighed like 130lbs. 

Age: 26 Height: 5'10
Weight as of 8/31/08: 160lbs.
Current weight: 172lbs.

Current Maxes as of 6/4/08:

theres no need to count calories man, just eat more if u wanna bulk. its slightly more complicated if u are trying to cut. but imo there is no reason to count ur calories!!

Current: 18, 5'11", 194

bench:290 squat:405 deadlift:420

5600-6000

About 2300-2500, but it doesn't really do much for me as far as loosing fat goes, I just stay the same weight, afraid to go lower for what it might do to my performance.

I would have to agree on this one.

When I bulk, I only listen to my body and try to eat as healthily as possible.

However, during a cut, you might want to start counting calories.

Age = 19
started in February 16th 2007: 58kg (127.6lbs)
current : around 78-79kg (171.6lb-173.8lb)

I don't train body parts these days... I train basic compound exercises...

2500-3000, varies from day to day

right now i am eating 4000 plus. next month i will probably go down to 3500. 

How can you afford to eat 3000+ calories? I'm getting complaints from just about everyone with just 2500, ish, sometimes not even that.

I'm right there with you Forsaken. I'll probably be bulking on 2500 or so calories when the time comes. All it takes is a little more dedication when cutting but think of all the money we save on food! :)

I live at home with my family. so i get the three big meals right there. before vacation, i used to get another meal at school. so that's about 2000 calories. I pay for my own protein from the money i saved from a summer job.

the rest of the stuff i use things that are calorie dense but cheap. so chick peas, beans, nuts and peanut butter are a staple part of my diet. Peanut butter is around 100 cals per spoon. a can of chick peas is about 50 cents; 300 calories, 16 grams of protein.
i am sick of most of those foods right now, but hey, it's the price we pay.

On days that I eat nothing but fast food (Mcdonalds, Checkers, Burger King) I could be looking at a good 4000 calories per day.

Im eating about 3500+ a day. But that includes close to a 1000 calories in weight gainer. It's hard to keep up with my calories, i kind of guesstimate, because I sit on my ass all day at gnc i just bring alot of food and munch about every hour and drink alot of water. I feel absolutely engorged by the end of the day though.
 
Im trying to bulk from 183 to 200. Considering the fact i probably ate about 2000 calories a day before with a dirty diet, im hoping to see good results. And then ill cut a bit probably drop calories to 2000 unless my body doesn't like that to much.
