Maintaining weight

So this question is for everyone who is not interested in losing weight.

I am at goal. I was going to push the extra 5 pounds off but I feel good here. So. How many cals do you eat to maintain? Do you eat your exercise cals back too? Any tips?

I would try to eat the excercise kcal for a period,2-3 weeks. if u dont gain weight,then cobtinue. the higher kcal intake u have without gaining,the better.:-)

Oh geez! Thanks! Acording to myfitnespal.com I would have to eat 2200 cals a day!!

Thats sounds right. get protein powder to make shakes with.one of those could be anywhere fro 150/200 kcal. twice a day and u are already at 400 kcal. butter as sauce etc. keep it good fat.

I would eat the exercise calories back during weight maintenance.

One thing though, for people who have been obese, we generally have slower metabolism. Need 20% less calories than an individual who has never been obese. So you may not be able to maintain at 2200 calories like myfitnesspal suggests. Give it a try.

Thanks! I have an appt with the nutritionist next week. I plan on asking her a lot of questions about maintaining! lol
