If you eat TDEE -20%, how often do you recalculate?

I used Scooby's calculator to calculate my calorie deficit, and it says to recalculate every 5lbs lost. I was just wondering if most people stick to that recommendation, wait until progress stalls, or some other variation.

How often do YOU recalculate your calories?

I do it every 5 lbs or thereabouts.

Ever time you lose 10lbs, you should also eat at maintenance for a week after ever 3 months.

Thanks for commenting. Do you have a link where I can read more about this recommendation? Based on your ticker, you know what you're talking about; I just like to research and learn.

Never heard of that...

But anyway, I haven't recalculated in 3 months, but I'm more active now, so I'm still pretty much at the same goal.
