in Goal: Maintaining Weight
Hi guys! I'm 18 and I was wondering if there's an accurate calculator I could use to determine my maintenance calories because I've heard that some for teenagers are inaccurate. I'm 18, 5'11", and 135 pounds. Thank you !

    Trial and error is always going to be more accurate than any online calculator

    Yep, try and find. Everyone is different. Just set intake and watch for your scales for 2 weeks, then make decisions, gl

    Sparkteens recommended calories are really high. I can assume that they think every teem is an athlete or growing fast. I know i stopped growing at about 13 or 14. Im under 5ft with size 2 feet so that site wouldn't have suited me.

    At 18 id say you could use adult calculations.
