    What about those who are very active? I'm very active but not exactly sure. The calorie calculator says I should eat about 1350-2300.

    If you are very active, I would go with the 2300 calories per day.

    I'm 5'2 and 129 lbs. On my super lazy days my TDEE is around 1600, on my usual days around 1800-1900 and on my high activity days up to 2300. However I only do walking and 2300 is when I do over 20 000 steps.

    Also I agree that you should get some professional help...you seem very confused with what you are trying to do.
