Never learn ;)
1400>1500 now to 1600 calories this week. Then next week 1700, then 1800 and check if my body fat stays level with that.
With a bit of calculation work my last maintenance calories (and I count exercise calories) were 1820. I'm calling it 1800 for now.
The Ketch-McArdle calculations that use bodyfat give me 1700 if I type sedentary. Which I am not as I don't count my weights training. But if I use light exercise it's 1945. Which I know is too high again (though it sorta works if I don't count my cycling but then if I cycle more...etc. etc.)
It just again gets to show calculations are never super accurate, you gotta refine yourself and that weights training is good, a 100 calories extra a day is pleasant.
