Eating for Maintenance
 

Hello everyone. I am very new to this website and was wondering if any calorie counters actually start out eating for their goal weight?

I thought about this alot. I ended up eating at something I thought would be goal maintenance, but with lifting weights my maintenance is proving more than what calculators were estimating.

I always thought that it seemed like a great way to go, but I am not a nutrition or fitness expert and just another person figuring out what works for me as I go.

Thank you for getting back to me. I understand that. Its hard to really figure out what my goal maintenance will exactly be especially if I maintain my level of activity.
