    Great to see similar body sizes and height to me eating at what I would see as a manageable maintenance level. I only have around 7 lb to go to reach my final goal and eating 1350 + exercise cals to lose a half pound a week. It will be nice to up it gradually when I get there!

    I am around 4'9 and I currently weigh 96 lbs. I would like to drop another 3lbs maybe, but it's a little hard for me right now :(

    So, you can get that (roughly) from MFP -OR- you can use an on-line TDEE Calculator. MFP uses something called NEAT - which is a bit different from TDEE. I prefer TDEE (but I have to remember where I am, right?).

    Here is the TDEE that I use:

    https://tdeecalculator.net

    It is a pretty good starting point. Emphasis on 'starting point'. See if that helps you.....

    That is totally my kind of bar! And I love the fact that it is a conventional deadlift! :-)

    MFP works from a TDEE perspective if you log and eat back exercise calories.

    I am 46 years old, 4'11", weigh 95 pounds and maintain on around 2100 calories. I average around 25,000 steps a day which accounts for the higher calories than expected.
