    1) 38
    2) 5'5"
    3) 146lb
    4) walk everywhere and breastfeed

    Yep, days I just do walking, I may only use about 300-400 extra, but days I kill it at the gym and walk, or when I cycle a few hours, I can easily add an extra 1000 + calories to maintenance. I tend not to do TDEE method as my exercise regime is variable from week to week, and some weeks I do less, some weeks, more.

    4. Activity level? light
    5. How many calories do you typically maintain on / / Im on 1200 purely because of fitnesspal

    You are not supposed to be on mfp, the rules state people should be 18+ and you are substantially below that.
    Sparkteens is your best bet.
