    I'm guessing that estimate works more for women than men. I'm a guy and am mostly sedentary. At anything less than 15 cal/lb I would lose weight, and I'm maintaining at about 18 cal/lb.

    Interesting, since the BMR is around 10 cal/lb and then the multiplier is about 1.2 for sedentary. Women are slightly lower so 18/lb is pretty high for maintenance.

    If you eat more calories than you need, you will turn the extra calories into fat. You can get used to getting fatter if that is your wish. Was there more to your question?
