Girls, how many calories are you eating?

I think @RunRutheeRun is similar stats to me and may be able to confirm how it correlates to step count.
Since Sue summoned me into this thread I figured I would try it on someone else...1 -

I do find the marginal increase from 10000-12000 to 15000 steps quite significant ...not that I'm suggesting you need to walk more but that extra 3000 tends to be an additional 200-250 calories..it seems to escalate the numbers as they get higher tbh
That's helpful actually. Maybe if I keep it more consistently closer to 15000 I'd see a difference.
Seems worth a shot if it's really ticking you off0 -

Yeah. I just have a nice balance going as far as an activity level I could pretty much maintain for a long long time. It'd be nice to be able to eat a solid 2200 calories though. 1800 is a struggle.
Not to derail but while I have you ladies here. I have one of those cheap fitbit zips. Sometimes I really don't move much so I get a reading of like 1600 calories for TDEE (when I'm closer to 10k). Anyway, is it worth syncing that up with MFP and running a little experiment as to it's accuracy?

Mine is synced ..and I overwrite with gym workouts
I've found it a pretty accurate guide to my calories over time, althoug it used to underestimate and now not so much so I think my calorie counting has got a little laxer..still I'm still maintaining ...are you sure it's set up right? The readout on it does not extrapolate to midnight, but when you synch to MFP the adjustments it passes over does
It's worth the experiment ..but you'd have to give it a couple of months with bio feedback IME0 -
also trendweight.com synch0

I try to stay around 1200, I don't exercise much0

My Fitbit is synched to MFP..I log food and weight in MFP
The calories for steps go from Fitbit to MFP and overwrite my activity ..extrapolates to end of day depending on time synched and what I've done can be out
The weights automatically go back to Fitbit and to trendweight so I have all weights on trendweight since I started logging
When I quit logging on MFP I just entered my weight in Fitbit instead and it synched from there to MFP and trendweight0 -

I had a Flex which I drowned accidentally and now I have a Charge HR. I've always had them synced when I was losing and now that I'm maintaining and I've alway eaten back all the adjustments too. I'm set at active for my activity level so I don't actually get a positive adjustment till over 10k steps. Also when MFP and Fitbit have been having syncing issues periodically this year I usually just eat around whatever my FitBit says is my calories burned for the day since I'm maintaining now, haven't seen any negative effects from that, just stayed within my normal 4 lb range.
How sure are you about that TDEE? It does seem a little low based on your stats and activity.

1200-2000 its a major difference because my activity majorly differences depending on the day. Man i love those 2k days.0

1650 but maintaining. I workout 6 days a week0

It depends. If I exercise a lot, I'll eat 1500-1700. If I don't, I try to aim for 1200-1300. And I'm 5'10 and around 153 pounds.0

I'm around 5"10 and eating 1400-1800 calories a day, I don't exercise and have lost steadily most weeks.0
