How do I figure out maintenance calories for a week "off" my diet?

Headed camping for 5-6 days. Am eating a bit more than usual already. Hoping to figure out a number approx for maintenance calories so I can feel better about eating this bit more...and not feel like gaining lots of weight, lol. Any help appreciated!

    Just change your settings in MFP from lose to maintain.

    Ooooh. Bahahahaha. I never even thought of that. I thought I would keep as it is, but then just show I'm eating way over...this is much easier. Thank you!

    I usually just eat 500 calories over my daily goal and don't change anything, apparently I just keep it complicated! If you are hiking while camping you may be surprised that you don't really gain anything and possibly still lose a little. Have fun on your trip!
