162.2 this morning. I having been holding pretty steady, which is fine, but I sort of expected to see a little movement down with all the exercise calories I ignore. I would like to give myself a slightly bigger cushion and also I am trying to dial in my maintenance calories. It doesn't seem right that 1800 would require some untracked exercise to work.

Today I paddled my SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) for 2 hours. mfp didn't have that as an exercise, so I looked at moderate canoeing and they had that at 509 calories per hour, which seems high. I set it at 300 an hour. I entered it, but don't really plan to eat all the calories.

EDIT - After thinking on it a little more, I set my goal back to 1600 and will start logging exercise more regularly and eating back some of it. The last few weeks of losing, I was not logging a fair amount of walking and I am thinking it was the exercise that caused the deficit and that 1600 is actually close to my maintenance number.
