hi............I just cannot get a proper maintance calorie intake level for me...
I can eat anywhere between 1700-2500 cals and neither put on or loose weight...
I eat as low as 1400 cals to see any reduction at all and feel crap/no energy...and when I eat over 2500 cal..I just get a bloated tummy for no weight gain...poop at lot..and feel lathargic
how can I get a realistic bulking and cutting calorie level...that works for for desired goals at the chosen times

I have a similar problem, i believe "set-point" and the hormone Leptin have much to do with it
It really is as simple as finding a calorie dense food like nuts that doesnt bloat you up, and munch away consistently.
Having said that, i just weighed myself, having eaten a tonne of food in the last week, and i've lost a whole kilo..... totally unexpected.
Tomorrow i am going to drink 10 pints of beer and eat 2kg of cheese

What duration are you using for these changes in intake? The body does not turn on a dime. To find maintenece take time and consistency. Pick a calorie level, eat it for a month. Your problem should be solved, adjust up or down in 200-500 calorie increments to reduce or gain more. Let the change settle a few (2-3) weeks before changing again.
If your doing all the above already, go get a physical, blood work.The most important aspect of weight training; whether for the athlete, bodybuilder, or average person is to better ones health and ability without injury. - Bill Pearl
