I’m 50 yrs old, 88kg, 6 feet tall and 2200 cal is my maintenance intake. I am moderately active - weights - 4 days+ per week, squash - 8 hours a week and some walking - average 12000 steps per day (6000 - 20000 depending on work etc). No cycling yet due to weather.
I am planning to drop intake on non-exercise days and increase protein all round.
Compare your stats with mine and see if your intake should be similar.

If I cut my calories any more I wouldn't be able to sustain my riding and probably get ill.
I'm building FTP and increasing volume now so probably need to increase calorie intake. MFP suggests between 1700-2200 for activity level, and I'm on the lower level at present.
