TDEE changing during reset - what to do?

Hi guys
I am 7 weeks or so into my reset which I am planning to do for 10 weeks then have a holiday and start my cut. So far so good, I have a Fitbit and have been using the data off that to set my TDEE (came out at 2100 averaged over 3 weeks). However the past couple of weeks I have been doing more and so my average has gone up to 2200 which is much closer to what Scooby gives me.
I presume I should up my cals to take that into account but does that mean I am effectively starting again with the reset? Or is it like eating back calories? I am confusing myself :noway:
I haven't weighed or measured myself as I thought a total break would be good mentally so I don't know where I am at though my clothes fit fine now the bloat has gone.
Any advice?

I just got a FitBit recently while in the middle of my reset. Scooby gave me 2400 as TDEE but I had to go up to 2600.
Just up your cals and stick to it. Better a bit over than too low.0 -
Thanks, that's what I thought. Also means my cut won't be so low and I am not looking forward to it :frown:
More food - yippeee!0
