    I won't debate anyone's knowledge. If any individual is interested in further information on the specifics of my weight gain for any reason, just message me. I'm not an expert but I have my fair share of knowledge and experience on how the body works and what is currently happening with mine.

    People are merely explaining the science. 3500 calories roughly equals 1 lbs. So gaining 1 lb per week would mean that you have a surplus of 3500 calories over a week which means, if you were eating 2300 calories on average, your maintenance calories was (3500/7 = 500) 2300-500 = 1800. So when you are comfortable with your weight, you will have to back down your calories to roughly that point (+/- and changes in exercise or activity outside of what you are currently doing).

    No I definitely understand. I appreciate it entirely. It's just one person delivers their information in a strong and argumentative way. I don't debate. I'm a learner, I love new and helpful info.
    As for my weight gain, I'm getting different calculations for my caloric needs just to maintain. So I just did some adjusting last night because it's not constant. And I just made a month so I evaluated and can see what you guys are referencing.

    I didn't read it as argumentative, but that's ok. The good news is, I laid out all of the math. The calculated TDEE's are all estimates and now you have a more clear picture of what your actual TDEE is. And that is really the key for real life feedback, which isl largely what people always forget to do.

    Yeah because you weren't on the other post. 99% of you are respectful and informative. I appreciate that.

    I went off those estimates for weeks and I'm like okay let me stay around 2300. But then some days I'm more active than others, which I find trouble in calculating so I'll just eat 200 extra calories if I am.

    And as I'm gaining weight, how often do I adjust because the last week I haven't gained as much as before.

    Weight loss/gain isn't linear so give it 2-3 weeks and watch the weight change and adjust accordingly.

    For women i tend to suggest a month because the are more effected by water weight.
