If you want to know YOURS, check a calculator to see where you fall within the range.
As for posting "random meaningless thing" from the internet, you will not find a different answer anywhere because this range is well known and studied.
But there will always be a range because there is no on size fits all. So check a calculator and stop being...whatever it is you're being. Like, argumentative for no discernible reason?
You found some random post to support that OP’s caloric maintenance level is 2300 per day. When the reality is that her maintenance is not likely to 2300 per day based on what’s she’s posted.
You are just making stuff up now. She wasn't losing weight at 1800 a day, or at least she thinks. But that is just a 500 calorie deficit a day which means it is just slower weight loss. She is looking at ounces a day, which says a lot about her unhappiness with the speed.
And again, it is not a random internet source...it is the standard calorie range. You can't refute that.
I am 48 years old, 5 foot 2 and my maintenance is 2100-2200 calories a day. I weigh 150 which I am sure you think is grossly fat but I am happy and fit and my weight has held steady.

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.
I'm sorry. This explanation is confusing me a bit. So you were eating 1300+ day and now just 1300?
Not OP, but sounds like they said to eat 1300 calories a day. She exercised and burned 400 calories, so she would eat 1300+400. Even though she "burned off" the 400 calories, it wasnt enough to lose weight. Now she is eating 1300/day no matter how much exercise, and making a difference on the scale.
OK, but that's stupid. Of course the scale won't move if yoi are "eating back" calories. No one does that. An athelete might carb load but that's going into a certain intense exercise

This is why I can’t exercise. If I work out even 30 minutes I am ravenously hungry and can think of nothing besides immediately eating a pound of cheese or similar. The more I exercise, the more weight I gain.

You weren't in a deficit. You were not consuming 1300 calories. You were at more and eating at maintenance.
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.
How is your maintenance so high? You must be a tall and husky guy?
I’m tall, but I’m a woman. I ride a bike 7 days a week. I’m training for a distance race.
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.
These recommendations don't account for weight, body composition, activity level, or gender. They are pretty meaningless.
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.
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.

Clearly! That’s why it was frustrating that I wasn’t losing. Maybe my maintenance is lower? I have no idea. All I know is the scale wasn’t budging at all until I kept my caloric intake at 1300 calories. I’ve steadily dropped a few ounces a day since.
