I personally think that calories matter, too many and you gain weight, too few and your body thinks it's starving and refuses to let go of fat stores.

You said you looked around before posting this, so I'm guessing that you've seen the usual advice of aiming for 10 - 12 times either your current or goal weight in cals per day?

I aim for somewhere between 1700 - 2100 depending on my activity level, simply because I'm more concerned with not feeling hungry than I am with breaking this 3 month stall I've been in, but I don't want the scale to start going up!

I'm actually considering eating as my lowest cal range (1700) and upping my carbs to about 50 per day and tweaking my fat/protein ratios more towards protein power eating and seeing what happens.
