1,300 to lose MFP had me set on even less for 1.5 a week, but once I synced my fitbit I started eating some of those back, and my average is 1.9 lbs a week lost, so I need to start eating more of my adjustment back I guess.1

ETA: that's maintenance with training, maintenance without training is more like 3,300-3,500
Wow that is a lot to maintain on with or without training @RAD_Fitness . Your food bill must be huge.
Lots of cheap calorie dense foods haha

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).
How's that diet? Is it giving you good results0 -

Cutting very slowly @ 2600, but I cardio 4 days a week and lift the other 3, so I have a lot of burn. For reference, I'm 6' 161.1

I'm cutting right now, I eat between 2700 and 3100 a day based on cardio.0

1570 -- TDEE minus 500 -- or one pound per week. 265 lb., 5'4", 66 y.o. sedentary female.
I try to keep within the goal or up to 100 calories less. I ignore under calories but over calories get quick-added to breakfast the next day.
I'm going to start doing seated exercise videos this week but will be setting calories to zero since I will still, for all intents and purposes, be sedentary.0 -

Age 42, height exactly 5ft , and hypothyroidism
Sedentary Job, but get between 12-15,000 Steps daily...

I maintain at around 2400 calories per day. I have a sedentary job but am somewhat active when it comes to intentional exercise. I'm 5'8" 126 lbs.0

bah nevermind I was already on here0

1200 on a strict cut. But since I'm younger and female it's only about a 500-600 deficit. 1200 gets me -1.5 to 2 pounds a week. I bulk super clean still so 2000 on bulk0
