    If you want to keep your current weight you eat at your TDEE. If you want to lose weight you eat at TDEE - 15% (which seems to be 1355.

    However those numbers seem incredibly low. How much exercise do you do a week?

    Maybe in between set my calories around 1400? I'm on high protein and calcium for obvious reasons
