Maintenance Calories

In TBAB, there are multipliers for recomp, fat loss and muscle gain. Can one derive a multiplier for maintenance from these to use as a start point? I understand maintenance, like fat loss, is personalized and needs to be monitored and adjusted as needed. However, would it be reasonable to split the difference between the muscle gain and recomp multipliers to come up with a start point for maintenance?

Yea that’s a reasonable starting point for sure!

I took the mean of fat loss and muscle gain since those are the extremes. The maintenance multiplier would be 14.17, but of course its just a starting point.
