What are your maintenance calories?

    I've been around 1640 for over a year, maintaining at 113, 5'3", age forty something.

    I just got a Fitbit and changed my activity level here to "lightly active." That caused my maintenance calories to go down to 1560, but Fitbit adds around 200 calories a day to that, depending on my activity level. I like this setup much better; I hover between 1400-1500 calories intake when I'm in an inactive streak, and my weight has been stable for years. And since my activity level varies so widely from day to day (office job, gym or no gym, all day hiking on some weekends), I feel like I'm getting more accurate and real time input into my calorie consumption.

    Sorry if that sounds like a Fitbit commercial. I'm in love with my new gadget :)
