I am a 5'10" female. I workout daily and typically have very consistently burned 3,000 calories per day (as measured by my Fitbit charge HR). It seems in the past 2 weeks or so my daily calories burned has been more like 2600-2700 despite no changes in my exercise routine. Is this due to being in a lower weight class or what? I have been consistently losing weight over the past year and now weight
193. Any thoughts?

    Yes, as you lose weight you will burn fewer calories. Congrats on the loss! This is the best kind of problem to have lol

    Yep less weight = less calories needed to move that body around.

    3-400 calories? That's some weight loss

    You've probably reduced your activity outside exercise or the intensity if not the duration

    Also I'd take the burns with a pinch of salt and focus on bio feedback to judge your true TDEE

    Unless you are quite heavy, I would say that those TDEE values are well off.

    What makes you think this? I am 192.6 pounds and 5-10. What would you expect my TDEE to be? I work out daily (Bootcamp style, kickboxing, body pump, running) I think I average about 500 calories per workout.

    That was what I was thinking. How would it be down that many calories with just a few pounds loss?

    Subjectively I feel like my intensity and activity level have remained the same.

    Well I would consider 190+lbs quite heavy so you're probably not far off. I'm 240lbs, have a sedentary job but work out 6 times a week and maintain at 3k.
