I never used MFP's calorie suggestions because I used the Mifflin st jeor calorie count equation. It is widely considered to be the most accurate determination of an individuals caloric intake needs. MFP was always a little off by ~400 or so, depending on weight and age changes.

At 280lbs, 24yrs, male, 6ft. I was going to hike in the morning and lift weights at night, 6 days a week. I was eating ~2400 calories a day. However, since food labels are often inaccurate by as much as + or - 25%, I often overestimated the calories I ate slightly, and underestimated the exercise slightly. So if I had to make an educated guess as to my true intake: 1900. My TDEE was about 3300 and BMR about 2200.
I am currently 225. And havent worked out in almost 2 months, but lost about 20 lbs in that time. I went through a health phase where I just didnt want sugar in my body whether it be carbs or candy even fruit. I thought my eczema might improve with diet. So I ate a lot of "keto" or "paleo" foods because they really are just nature's natural food. I realized a LOT of my hunger was associated with habit and emotion. I realized if I try and keep my mind busy I dont even think about food, and when I do Im indirectly intermittent fasting!

A typical day for me starts with coffee no sugar (i like the taste tbh) and a splash of cream at about 630am.
At 8 or 10 depends on work, I will have an RxBar, they are AMAZING to curb hunger pangs. Because your body doesnt need immediate sustenance, you just need to be able to get your mind off food again.
I will continue to graze on like 300 cals worth of almonds or something until 1 or 2ish.
Then lunch! And that usually holds me over untill im off work at 7pmish and I eat something little if im hungry. Some days I would only eat 900 calories. I would eat something out of necessity because I think for a dude of my size thats severely unhealthy lol.

I've lost 80+ pounds and have been maintaining for 5 years.

I average around 2500 calories. I look at my calories on a weekly basis so some days are lower then that and other days are higher. But at the end of the week it all balances out so I'm able to maintain my weight.

My main form exercise is both walking and strength training.

~1500 calories + 50-75% of my exercise calories is my current eating guideline. So far I've lost a total of 185lbs.
