When kids are out of school. I’m going to do resistance bands over the summer. About how many more calories should I add and still main rain my 1.5 pound loss

Strength training does not burn as many calories as cardio, but perhaps it is time to up your activity level and reset your goals?

I suggest you look into body weight training. Most of us can progress for quite a while and it gives you functional strength: squatting down to pick up the kids, or their toys, for example. It is also easy to work in with the kids around, like at the play ground.
