    That's a ridiculously low number to be grossing.

    I know. I just raised it to 1400 from 1250 this week though. I mainly track for a low number because I don't trust the numbers provided by the app for some stuff. I'm probably actually eating about 1500-1600.

    At the moment about 2600 - 2800 to maintain...I can cut about 1 Lb per week on 2100-2300...more if I up my training load, but I'm not training for anything in particular at the moment.

    When I first "got serious" a year ago I was doing about 900-1200 a day and I hit a wall pretty fast, within a couple of months, so I upped it. Now I'm in shape and extremely active and I don't do less than 1,800 - which is hard some days even with throwing a grilled chicken breast in as a afternoon protein snack. The days I train I'll up it to 2,300 or more.

    MFP has me at 1280 calories per day. I'm trying to lose 2 lbs. a week, and I usually eat back my exercise calories, meaning, I'll eat between 1400-2000 a day. I've lost 13.5 lbs. in 8 weeks, so I'm close. My goal was to lose 100 lbs. (now have 86.5 to go!) I'm female. I walk 4 times a week, 80 minutes each. Swim 2x a week, 25 minutes each, and usually 1 60 min. zumba class per week. When I lose another 20-30 lbs. I will add another zumba class, and with 40 lbs. hoping to jog again and add some strength training. I think my TDEE is around 2300. I calculated it on another site but didn't write it down so I don't remember exactly. I'm just going by MFP and it's working well.

    TDEE-500 which right now as a 66 y.o. 259 lb sedentary female is 1540. I started out at 1660 and recalculate every time I lose a new pound so I stay at TDEE-500. I've been losing a pound and a half per week.
