Hi, so I'm 5'5, 137 lb female and trying to maintain my weight. on normal activity I think I burn around 1850 calories a day, but on my very active days at work I can walk up to 14 miles.

If I were going for a run I would do 80xmilesrun for calorie burn, but that doesn't feel fair for work walking since I'm including normal things like, walking to the bathroom and walking to the car.

Also, a lot of the walking involves a great deal of standing, so maybe 1 mile in an hour, but I'm on my feet the whole time.

How do I factor calories?

Garmin is crazy and says 2145 for a 11.5 mile day, fitbit is crazy on the other end and says 3126

    That's your TDEE for the entire day and it sounds about right. I'm 5'3", 113 pounds. On days where I get 20,000 steps, I'm allowed to eat 2500 calories or so to maintain my weight. It's worked so far.
