I just used a online calculator to determine how many calories a day I should eat for age, height, weight, activity etc and it’s 1488. That’s with walking 5-8 miles a day. Curse of being little. So, Yeah, nobody come at me for how little it looks like I am eating, sigh.

That's a ridiculously low calorie intake, especially for the amount of exercise you get. I would not rely on that calculator.

Mayo Clinic gave me more, lol

1550 calories See how your daily calorie needs change if you alter your activity level: の 76 130 1400 Inactive Somewhat Active 1550 calories Active 1800 calories Very Active Feedback People judge the intensity of their activities differently. And activity levels can change over time. So think of your calorie estimate as a starting point and adjust it up or down as you alter your activity level.

Right? I selected exercise daily, but since it’s just walking not running or anything that intense. OTOH from the activity calculator on the watch it takes a lot of walking to burn any calories. I can walk miles and see 90 calories burned. Sigh
