Around 30000

I'm on maintenance at 5'7", 135-140 pds. On a normal day, I'm just sedentary, so about 1600-1700. If I go for a very long run in the hills it might be more like 2700 or even more. If I'm just doing a little goofing off at the gym, weight training or whatever, it's more like 2000-2100.0

No idea, I don't track them2

About 1800, workout days can be anything from an extra 200 cals to an extra 1100, depending what I'm doing.0

Burn in total; not eat after deficit
Around 3K on average based on > 18K steps a day0 -

3K for 18K steps whoa that's a lot of steps!

Just over 3K on average based on > 18K steps a day
Oopsies! MFP has me at 2750 for very active. I usually go above that once I hit about 15500 steps which I tend to do more often than not. Of course these totals are a little bit of a fib and I actually have to subtract about 5.5% to get to the real figure!

Sorry, you genuinely surprised me as I know you're taller/bigger so I "assumed" a higher burn. Admittedly it took a good year or more of ramping up before I was reliably hitting 15K0 -
I think my Garmin HR sucks at counting my steps sometimes it tells me to move when I am moving, I guess I'm just not moving "correctly".2

Sometimes my Fitbit counts more steps when moving slower than when moving faster Or no steps at all if moving softly. Experiment with pronounced vs not pronounced arm movement to accompany the steps! 0 -
I'm not super worried about the steps, it definitely sucks at stairs, never gets those right.1

I think you're confusing me with someone else.
I'm 5ft5 and 134lbs, I get 6000 steps before exercise...0 -
I walk a sad amount of steps like 6K average, somehow but manage a 3700-4000 burn on a non workout day. I think because when I am walking I'm usually dragging heavy crap around or climbing up on stuff.1
