What is better for weight loss: counting calories or macros and how do I find my calories maintenance level?
That makes sense. How do I figure out my calorie maintenance level?
The simplest way to estimate your calorie maintenance level is to use an online calculator that takes into account your age, gender, height, and activity level. From there, you can determine how many calories you should be consuming daily to maintain your current weight. To lose weight, it's generally recommended to consume 500 to 1,000 fewer calories per day than your maintenance level.
