    Maintenance: 1620 cals PLUS all my exercise cals
    I run about 25-30 miles per week, plus some strength training, so I end up averaging at least 2000 cals per day. Been maintaining for ab 10 months.

    3500+ depending on activity. Usually I'm good on around 4k a day.

    Around 2000 is my maintenance, I'm not that active but have a Mega metabolism, I lift 3-4x a week, no cardio, walk a lot though. ....MFP sets it way lower...if I ever went by those standards I'd lose 3lb a week.

    How do you figure how many calories to eat back from your workouts?

    When I used to do circuit training I would use my HRM, but with lifting I just add 150-200 on lifting day...Which is literally just a number I pulled out of my butt, but it seems to be working,...
