    Today will be 3,541 just to maintain. I'm a distance runner. 5' 11'' 147

    Sigh... I think I hate you.

    I burn an estimated 1700ish. I think it might be higher but let's call it 1700. I was actually losing weight unintentionally whilst eating quite normally (with junk added in.) I don't drive and walk everywhere, 6 miles or so a day, so... yeah. Anyway.

    Call it 1700, so I set my goal at 1500. I don't often hit 1500, but if I do I don't care because my deficit is still there. I can have 1300 days, 1450 days, 1600 days. It evens out in the end.

    I am not trying to lose large amounts of weight, though, just shed some body fat, so a slow loss works fine for me. I'd rather it take longer than be hungry.

    I'm 36 years old, female, 5' 7"and my CW is 187 lbs, and I eat 1950 to lose about a pound a week. I'm pretty active - my Fitbit puts my TDEE to maintain at around 2500/day.

    My goal is set to 2,050 calories a day I am very rarely under this amount. I am 225lbs and lose anywhere between 1-2lbs a week on this.
