5’3” ladies over 30, what are your maintenance calories and activity level?

[jesusiskewl]

@freds Gaining on a calorie deficit is a sign of eating too little, which based on your activity level, you are severely under eating.

As active as you are your maintenance is most likely 2200.

@freds Take a break for a week and eat more that week. It will reset your body from preservation mode.

@freds It depends on how far over 30 you are. I’m in perimenopause and maintenance is only 1300. Fun times!
