Maintaining, not sure about my TDE...

I adjusted my fitness profile to maintain my weight because it was still set to loose and it brought me from 1350 calories to 1820, I feel like this is a high increase, I am very active but an extra 470 a day seems high to me, I thought it would rise maybe 200? Thoughts??? I run 5/6 times a week on average about 25 minutes and my calorie burns are about 140-190 depending on my speed. I'm looking for some who may have reached their goal weight and if mfp was accurate or not to maintain. Thanks!

    Well, how much were you losing at 1350? A pound a week is 500 calories a day. So if you were set to lose a pound a week, 1820 is right on track for maintenance.

    Also, that's not high at all... My maintenance is around 1700 and I'm short and at a healthy weight. The average maintenance for an adult woman is 2000.
