    I don't care to argue with you, @MrM27‌, @Wheelhouse15‌ or even with @Springfield1970‌. The information is there. I'm gonna leave it at that.

    Thanks for leaving information! I prefer to get my info from other places though thanks!

    Ps I've done the whole eating frequently thing too! Didn't lose, until I was in calorie deficit.

    I've also done 1-2 SPACED MEALS OUT per day and hey presto, lost weight because I was in a calorie deficit! How funny!

    What are you eating? I never thought calorie counting could be so difficult.

    So if you've eaten 3500 cals per week extra (1lb), your maintenance including exercise is 2000-2500.

    Is that fast for your weight height activity level and age? Just interested...

    That's my maintenance including exercise and I'm 5'2. Guess I have a fast metabolism. But I have no issue with gaining weigh sadly.

    Oh I'm 35 and the 2000 is when I get around 10,000 steps in a day. 2500 when I run/swim etc.

    Well yes, not eating does tend to make one lose weight.

    2650 isn't what I'd call a lot of calories, but I suppose that's just me.

    Not really. I'm 5'3" and my maintenance with exercise is around 2200. My metabolism is 'normal' as far as I know.
