then you have your answer. Calculators don't matter, reality does. If what you are eating makes you maintain your weight, then congrats, you just found your maintenance TDEE.
-
Actually this is how most TDEE calculators do it. We only recently got fitness trackers, and people dieted with CICO long before that. I think it is actually the right way to do it since you are not relying on a tracker which is wrong for many people.
-
For you perhaps. I have a charge HR and have compared with most of my MFP friends and they all report the same thing. Fitbits seem to be more accurate for females of a certain weight range. My fitbit says I should be losing almost a pound a day...

no it totally depends on how you set your goals. I use lightly active although I sit all day, and that accounts for any exercise I do. Fitness trackers and estimating calories for treadmills etc are wildly optimistic. I ignore all extra calories earned and my weight loss is exactly as predicted. I see non-obese people on…

you basically cannot go wrong eating lots of protein. It is the least (net) calories of any of the macros per gram. Your diary looks fine. Eat this way for 3 weeks and if you are not getting the results you expect (ie you set it to lose 1lb/week but you only lose .5) then readjust.
-
this makes absolutely zero difference to fat loss, period. This is like buying stuff on your credit card you can't afford. Having less water in your system is not a desirable thing, nor is having low sodium.
-
exercise doesn't burn as much as you think. I am 6'5'' and heavier than you and my lightly active maintenance is 2700.

u 8 2 much?

you can always gain strength because strength is a skill. You will not build muscle while on a cut after the newbie stage and unless you are obese. I've almost tripled my lifts in 2 years while cutting the whole time.
-
calorie restriction.
-
considering most people I see going to do treadmill burn less than 300 calories per day in exercise, yes, it is easy.
-
not that you could do it, but nah.
-
uh are you serious?
-
who cares about trans fats when you are eating empty calories that don't even taste good.
-
If low carb suits you then Just go low carb, and if you find your weight lifting is suffering then try upping carbs on those days. Until you are at a higher level of lifting you don't have to worry much about it.
-
Your exercise hardly counts in the big picture. Eat right and you'll lose fat. A bad workout is about the least harmful thing that could happen :)
-
you never wait for weights
-
mmm I could eat blood sugar all day!

You have to watch out for these as well https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/brocialist oh and we all hate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manspreading

Jerks are condescending, gender notwithstanding. Plenty of women think they know it all as well.

Lost 80lbs, BMR almost exactly what it should be for someone my new size.
-
Well I think you know the answer, you are not eating enough. How long have you been following this increased calorie diet? If it has not been 3 weeks then keep going and see what happens. If you continue to lose weight, increase your calories by 10% and try for another 3 weeks. Repeat if necessary.

If you lose weight sustainably while maintaining muscle your metabolism will only suffer small temporary effects. The sustainable way to diet is to incorporate refeeds, diet breaks, and sustainable goals. If you do this you will not suffer large permanent metabolic damage. Yes, there are ways your body fights back against…

The sad thing is people watch this and think "that is what I have to do to lose weight? Forget it!" but they think in the back of their minds "but at least I know I could lose this weight, I just don't want to go through that". So they stay fat.
