    I'm not quite to maintenance yet but you should definately eat back your exercise calories. You want to reach a balance and you can't do that not eating them back. You would always remain at a deficate and thus always be losing weight.

    For me it was basically a try and error thing, I was eating 1800 cals and did pretty well for 6 months, but when I started eating back 1/3 of my exercise calories, I started gaining again, I gained 4 pounds in two months, so this time I'll be eating 1800 cals ;)

    Go to settings, and click on Update Profile. Enter you present weight and the weight that you want to achieve. If both are the same the database will know that you don't want to lose anymore and it will give you your maintenance calories.

    I also recommend that if you don't want to lose any more weight you either slow down your workouts, especially cardio, or eat your exercise calories. You can always change your goals if you think that you are losing or gaining weight.
