[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't that obvious if you're trying to lose weight?  You need to be at a deficit of 500-1000 calories a day.  [/quote]
Yes. I was already in a deficit, but wasn’t seeing results. I was advised by a trainer to stay at 1300 calories a day. I was adding the calories burned through exercise and “eating” them, though still technically “consuming” 1300 calories. I’ve stopped “eating” the exercise back and the weight is steadily dropping a bit every day.

It wasn’t obvious to me, no, so maybe this success story will help someone else. [/quote]

You weren't in a deficit.  You were not consuming 1300 calories.  You were at more and eating at maintenance.[/quote]
I wasn’t. My maintenance is 2350. I was eating around 1800 calories after/with/however you want to phrase it.

Either way, it was a dumb mistake but one I wouldn’t have realized without asking here and getting help from the PP. [/quote]

How is your maintenance so high? You must be a tall and husky guy?[/quote]
I’m tall, but I’m a woman. I ride a bike 7 days a week. I’m training for a distance race. [/quote]

An active person who hasn't tanked their metabolism with restrictive and yoyo dieting can easily maintain on 2300 calories a day.

Basic recommendations:
1–40 years	1,800–2,200 calories
41–50 years	1,800–2,200 calories
51–60 years	1,600–2,200 calories

That is for average height/weight.[/quote]

These recommendations don't account for weight, body composition, activity level, or gender.  They are pretty meaningless.[/quote]

So I'm guessing you don't understand the word "range" and "average height average weight."

These recommendations were for a female and the reason there is a range is that it they do account for weight, body composition, etc. You need to know where you fit in that range.[/quote]

The range varies from 400-600 calories per day. That is a huge swing. So what’s average height/weight? What are the actual numbers? You are right 
, I don’t understand because you have posted something random meaningless thing you found on the internet.[/quote]
