Ok....so I've been maintaining for at least 6 weeks now. I've been eating at TDEE for over 2 weeks that I know for sure because of tracking. Before that I am sure I was eating at or above TDEE without tracking accurately or at all on some days.

My TDEE is 2377. So I did 15% of that which is 2020.45. So I would eat that amount every day? And NOT eat back workout cals unless I dip below my BMR?

Just wanted to make sure so I am ready to go tomorrow morning.

    Yes. You should eat that daily, and only eat back if you go under your BMR.

    I was eating above or at TDEE before without realizing it. I am still maintaining, so I think I'm just going to cut. I know this is my correct maintanance level now. We'll see how it goes.
