For those confused or questioning "Eating your exercise calo

splashblob · July 2013

Bump with questions, first of all I am not looking to lose weight anymore, just want to maintain my weight.

Now, here is the question, back when I was trying to lose, my TDEE is around 1680-1735. I didn't not exercise, just counting calories of food I ate. Now I am try to maintain my weight and I am exercise more. I based my TDEE by using fitbit.

I exercise about 30-45 min in the morning and in the evening 5 days a week. Mostly I run or brisk walking. I am planning to do more weight lifting soon though.

Should I continue eating at around 1700-1735 daily

or

Should I eat more as in 1735+exercise calories daily now?

Cant really say without much more detailed information but my guess would be at least 1735, probably a few hundred more, but without knowing all your current numbers including body Fat % age, medical history...etc. it's really hard to be more specific.
