Anyone like to guess my maintenance cals?

thanks

That is indeed what TDEE is. Maintenance estimate.

From your description of planned activity, it's not really sedentary. But that would be correct if you were.

You could set it that way, eat that much, and then all your activity and light exercise creates a deficit.

That works if true isn't that far removed from estimated - otherwise extreme deficits backfire in many ways for many reasons.[/quote]
