[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else find that they have to eat quite a lot less than their "maintenance calories" in order to loose weight?

After I loose weight, won't my "maintenance calories" become a lower number? Since I won't need as many calories to sustain a smaller woman, right?

On the food tracking apps I don't think the maintenance calories adjust lower as you loose weight - or do they?[/quote]

Yes, this is one reason why people think they plateau and aren’t losing weight anymore.  What is usually happening is that they lost weight, and now the amount of calories needed to maintain is lower, so their calorie deficit also needs to adjust.  I need a deficit of 300 calories a day.  What my total daily calorie intake per day to lose weight at 140 lbs vs 115 lbs is very different.

You should probably check on what your calorie intake should be yourself, rather than rely on the apps.  Search TDEE calculator, use one that will estimate your deficit. It should give you a ballpark idea and you can compare with the app.[/quote]
