    I doubt your maintainence calorie intake is 1800calories, unless you weigh like 120lbs. My maint. is around 3500 and my intake fluctuates from 4200-4800. 5'10 195lbs.

    When I cut I consume 1700-1900kcal/day, right now I dont know for sure but a guess would be betwen 2500-3000kcal. I maintain my weight right now so I guess that is my maintainence ammount.

    I'm with IB on this one. At that age there's no way your maintenence is that low. I"m 25 and mine is about 3000-3500. Having a high cal maint like that makes it harder and harder for guys like me and IB to gain some weight. Its a full time job trying to consume over 4k a day

    I never count calories, just the amount of protein and carbs I am taking in.
