I weigh a whole lotta pounds, at 170. I do not want to be this low, but I am slowly losing more weight. Am I underestimating my calories burned? Maybe I should not adjust down as much what my watch is telling me? I am much more active now than I used to be, so maybe I should move up my daily maintenance calories to about 2500 from 2300? Both can accomplish the same purpose, but which one would be the best explanation of my weight loss? Underestimated calories burned? Too low of a value for maintenance calories? I am thinking of increasing my maintenance calorie level to 2500 calories to see what happens. This would make for the biggest difference.

So far 10,261 steps. I have both run intervals for 2.76 miles and walked briskly for about 1.41 miles, burning a total of 396.5 calories. I do think this is conservative. However, let’s see what happens with the maintenance calories increase. So I definitely have made up for half of yesterday’s overage with some to spare. No soda for me today. What a waste of calories!
