in Goal: Maintaining Weight
So I put in my information for when I expect to be at my goal.
21 male 74 inches tall weighing 205 pounds.
Lightly active. Scooby says my maintaining calories would be 2942.

2942!!
This seems absurd to me. I don't know what other sites are credible but if you know of one can someone link me? Thanks

    Everyone is different.... My current cutting numbers are 3600... But I don't use MFPs recommendations.

    I believe it, you're young and tall and most likely active.

    I'm a short girl in my late 30's and I maintain at 2000 per day.

    And I'm a tall woman in my 50's and maintain at 1440 (net).

    Enjoy it while you can! I could eat anything until I was 40.

    Sounds low to me for a guy your size and age to be frank but that is just an opinion.

    I maintain at 2300 atm...female, 41 and 5 ft 7.

    My husband 32, 5 ft11 185 light active maintains at about 3400...

    As you can tell everyone is different...
