I have been on MFP for a while, but just recently started up again. I have had 3 job changes (one of which was working for a restaurant group where I ate for free and gained a lot of weight) and moving to 3 cities in a year and half. We have settled down and now I have time to get back into fitness and health.

Here is my details:

G: Male
H: 6' 4"
SW: 264
CW: 239
GW: 185

I currently run 6 days a week and typically go for 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. In addition I plan to be adding strength training 2 days a week.

After my workout and inputting all my food I come out around 1000 calories a day less than what my MFP goal is. I am selective about what I eat and try to eat more vegetables, fruit and whole wheats. I also drink a lot of water, nothing else.

I do not feel weak. I do not feel hungry. I actually feel great. I try and listen to my body and am planning losing the weight over the course of a year and plan to continue maintaining after that. I don't want to push my body.

So I guess my question is; should I try and eat more calories or I am OK with my current calorie intake and burning?

Thanks in advance.
