Oh! This group/thread is just what I needed: January 9th: Me: 6 The Binge: 3 DBF: 6

Well how about that! I took your advice and restarted a new copy from December 2017 to today, and my TDEE was calculated to be 2070 calories. That's much more believable and quite close to my guesses.
-
Perhaps. It's evening where I live, and I'm too tired to check right now. Haha. I'll look over it tomorrow, just in case. Yeah. I'm glad it worked for you and many others though. Thanks for all the replies! :)

~Two hours for the first one and ~1.5 hours for the others. I'd say moderate pace is the right description. I live in a hilly area, so it's a mix of terrain. I use my recovery day to walk only on flat land.
-
Really? Would you please elaborate on that doubt? I know all activity is not equal, but I am always up and about. I use an activity tracker. I take intentional walks three times a day, and I have an active job. Indeed, that's correct. I'm not new, and I've read all the stickies here.
-
I'm 27 years old, 5'1", and I clock in 30k+ steps a day. I've never seen people with similar heights and activity levels and accurate logging habits report having to eat such a low number to maintain. I was expecting closer to ~2000 calories.
-
Interesting. I'll search what others say about it. I remain skeptical for now though. There's no way maintenance at 30k+ steps a day is 1585 calories. I wonder what about my numbers threw off the calculations.
-
Just to save anyone who might see this, if you already track your food, weight, and activity here or on another website or app, this spreadsheet has nothing new to offer. After I entered a year's worth of data, the sheet computed my TDEE to be 1585 calories. It does not factor in activity levels at all. I take 30k+ steps a…

I have the same problem. I entered in almost a year's worth of data, and the sheet says my TDEE is 1585 calories :/ That doesn't seem likely. I'm a ridiculously accurate logger of both my weight and my food. I average 30k steps a day. Would you help me too, please? I PM'd you my sheet.
-
Interesting. I haven't noticed any major/lasting fluctuations, even when I finally got a period last year, but I suppose anything can happen overtime. I'll continue to monitor my weight accordingly. Thanks :) Yeah; you're right. Although many people loosen up after reaching maintenance, I still log quite diligently. It's…

Thanks for the advice! I usually do at least one hour of walking in the mornings before work and walk a couple minutes every hour once I get home from work or while I'm watching Netflix. I pace all the time like when I'm the phone, waiting for dinner to cook, etc. and it all adds up very quickly. On weekends, I make sure…
-
I walk 20k-35k STEPS not km. Lol. 30km would be impossible to keep up with daily.
-
Hmmm.... I thought no period=no weird fluctuations/retention. I'll look into that. Thanks.

I was. FitBit gave me 50-100 calories for Fitness Blender videos (I only did the 20 minute or less videos). I no longer do, of course, now that I no longer do the videos. Yeah. A slight cut did it for me too, but I've seen no change all of April. I don't eat out, but I do buy bread from Panera. BUT I weigh it, and use a…

My waist is actually .5 inch larger :/ I did see a doctor, and she said she's seen many other patients like me who lose weight and lose their period too. I was first prescribed progesterone, but when that didn't work, I was give a month's supply of birth control. That did the trick, but after that, nothing. I was too…

@Pawsforme ty. You're right; I must follow what my body specifically needs. If you don't mind sharing, how many pounds were those "few pounds?" @CooCooPuff Did that one week dose do the trick?
-
Thank you all so much for the responses you all. It really brought my spirits up, and I'm feeling more hopeful. :) @arditarose Yeah. I'm bewildered/surprised myself. I've been in maintenance since this January, and I started paying attention to my fat, eating 50g+ of fat, since March. On a bad day, I might've eaten like…
-
Yep! I've eating well over 1200 calories and all of my exercise calories and hitting protein and fat goals since late January this year, but for TDEE, I've been using a tracker to calculate that, and it seems about right. It'll take that long??? *sigh* Well, it's still a relief to read that I can indeed recover. I'm…

Thanks so much for the replies. I'll definitely check to see if there are free health clinics nearby. It didn't even occur for me to check. Yep. I am American. Oh my. I'm not sure what my body fat percentage is. I'll see what I can do to measure it.

Oh gosh. Hate it. Walks in nature
