    It varies.

    My maintenance is between 3200-3500cals but am presently doing BodyOpus diet so low calories and keto for 5 days then a high carb refeed (normally 2-2.5 x maintenance).

    Seems to be around 2,600 to defluff (cut), around 3,100 to maintain so similar to @psuLemon and between 3,500 - 4,000 to bulk.

    1600 on a cut

    ETA: Bulk on about 2500 because I don't do as much cardio as when I cut recklessly

    I consume 1700, still losing, 43 and short (5'3")! I will eat some of my exercise calories back but usually only after a big burn ( long run, long bike ride). I would want to punch someone if I ate less!!!

    My maintenance seems to be around 2600, though I haven't really had a dedicated period in maintenance to know for sure.
    (I'm also hypothyroid and short.. still have about 40 lbs I'd like to lose though.)

    Maintain around 3,900-4,100, cut usually starts at 3,200 and ends around 2,800. Building about 4,700-5,000

    ETA: that's maintenance with training, maintenance without training is more like 3,300-3,500

    4-5K... I've been averaging mid 4K but lately that seems to be maintenance as the scale hasn't really moved in weeks.

    Wow that is a lot to maintain on with or without training @RAD_Fitness . Your food bill must be huge.
