okay, so i posted before but what like some more info- Im 18, 102lbs, 5'1", and run exercize 4-6 days a week (mostly running 8-12 miles a week) I want to maintain my weight- my bmr is about 1280 but im only eating 1150-1200 WITHOUT deducting burned exersize calories-after my net is around 850-900 usually. How many calories do i eat??? does this number vary when i don't workout?! not trying to lose, just maintain-but i reallllly would hate to gain weight....!

If you're not trying to lose why are you eating such an extremely low number of calories?! That makes absolutely no sense to me.0

You need to eat back a majority of your exercise calories if not all.
You need to understand what your BMR and TDEE is and work out your net calories are...hope this helps.
