Maintenance Calorie Band
A maintenance calorie band is a stable weight range around estimated TDEE—not one fixed number—useful for diet breaks and performance phases.
A maintenance calorie band is a range—not a single TDEE number—where weight stays stable within normal daily fluctuation, often plus or minus one hundred to two hundred calories around your best estimate. Living inside the band during diet breaks or performance phases reduces anxiety about hitting one integer.
Widen the band when travel or shift work disrupts NEAT.
