Also, if 2200 calories is below your maintance level, will you lose weight? My BMR is like 1900, add in activity level and such, and its closer to 3000. Or does the use of an AAS counteract actual weight loss? Just seems like I am burning more calories than is going in

No matter what any sticky or calculator says, it can never account for individual differences and lifestyles. Some 200lbs'ers can cut on 3k cal, some had to drop to 2k cal, it all depends on so many factors. That is why it is important to calculate YOUR maintenance level and work from there. Use the sticky and other calculators only as guidelines. In any case, never just drop 1000 cals simply because you read it somewhere - always decrease it gradually, by dropping 1-200 cals per day and sticking to it for a week to see what your weight does. If nothing, drop some more and continue until you reach a desired level of fat/weight loss eg. 1lbs/week and stick to it.
