    You should start eating some more real food.

    Your maintenance calories may be around 2400cals but you'll only know that if you eat that amount of calories every day for 10 days or so and see what happens to your weight.

    2400 is still high. As mentioned, if I'm eating around 2000 calories a day, I've been gaining weight/body fat slightly. So could it be possible my TDEE is around 2000? Does that seem right? If so, why do all the TDEE calculators come up around 2800?

    The calculators are not the word of God.
    They are an estimation.
    Different people have different metabolism.

    As I said, eat a set amount of calories for 10 days and see what happens to your weight. Yes of course if you are gaining weight your maintenance cals are less than you are eating.
