How to Verify Your Maintenance
Track Your Intake
Eat at the calculated maintenance for 2-3 weeks while tracking accurately.
Weigh Daily, Average Weekly
Weigh yourself each morning under the same conditions. Compare weekly averages, not daily weights.
Adjust as Needed
If you're losing weight, add 100-200 calories. If gaining, subtract 100-200. Repeat until stable.
Your true maintenance can vary by ±200-300 calories from any formula. Metabolic adaptation, NEAT (non-exercise activity), and hormonal factors all play a role. Use formulas as a starting point only.
