What should my calorie intake be?

[Kayras]

I have used multiple calculators that keep saying between 1300-1600 for weight loss, 2000 to maintain. I am working on toning (been working on building a booty for vacation for the past couple months too lol). I've been eating between 1400-1700 calories a day, going to the gym 5-6 days a week. I track macros and always make sure to get my daily protien. I am 125 pounds, 5ft4in. My goal is like I said to just tone up, maybe lose 5 more pounds, and working on the button, ha. Should I be eating more or less calories? The calculators all had such a different range so it's hard to be sure

Depends on the rate you are losing weight. I'm guessing that you are a female meaning that you should probably aim for a .5-1 lb loss per week. If you are aiming towards the higher end and are falling short, either decrease calories or increase cardio.

Nobody here can really tell you how much you should be eating. If the calculators tell you between 1300-1600 for weight loss, then pick a number in that range and stick with that number for a month to see your weight changes.

I'd say deficit if you want to lose another 5 pounds

Just begin eating, you are lacking of mass. Post a picture.

The calculators are just educated guess-o-meters to guve you a ballpark to start tracking from. Just pick one range and track for 2-3 weeks and adjust up or down as necessary to hit stay on track with your goals.

OP never mentioned gender, but given the 'booty' goal I assume female, so that weight may or may not be too little.
