Maintenance?

Sorry everyone random question:

MFP tells me I need to eat at 1900 cals a day to maintain while many other websites say 2200. Who should I trust?!

    Trust your body rather than a website ...... Why dont you try 1900 - if you are still losing weight up it slowly by a 100 calories a week until your weight starts stabilising - that should be your maintenance calories....

    One thing - give it a week or two every time you up your calories - anything less might just be scale fluxuations...
