    Currently at 2130 but I'm still in the process of adding 100 cal every week till I reach 2500 where I might stay for a while. I'm trying to repair my metabolism from my extreme calorie diet which I did at around 1300-1600 cal a day with workout which totally ruined my metabolism. Now am back to heavy lifting so I'm increasing my calories.

    I don't know how to figure it out but I ate about 2800 today (my no count day) and the screen says that 'if every day were like today' I'd still lose 2 pounds in 5 weeks.

    I'm 5'1" and 168 pounds, and while I am not yet fully in maintenance mode, when I take short breaks from having a deficit, I seem to maintain quite well around 1800-1900 calories, which is right in line with my current calculated TDEE.

    My maintenance at TDEE is 1713. That's for sedentary lifestyle (I have a desk job), I'm 144 lbs and 5'9". I think the best bet is to put in your measurements on a TDEE calculation website and get what's right for you.

    If I exercise I eat those calories back in the course of a week rather than on the actual day because with my job I may be able to go for a run one day, and then have to eat out another day because I'm working away from home. This seems to be working so far.

    I maintain on about 2300 calories, on average. I get quite a bit of exercise, and don't eat back my calories.

    Seriuosly? Some of you ladies are eating way too little. I'm 5'2" and my weight ranges between 150-154 and have been maintaining my weight since early last year on anywhere between 2000 (no workout, sedentary weekend day) to 2400-2800 on workdays (Medical Assistant at a busy clinic, lots of walking) depending on whether I exercise or not. Anyone who thinks they're maintaining on 1500-1700 cals has a damaged metabolism I'm sure......
