That's a good guess zed! I was thinkin about peanut butter, blts, 65k worth of Twix bars. Have no clue but I'm
Guessing your guess is closer to right than mine!!

Ok...here's what I got...based on stats of
5'3"
68 kgs
31 yrs old

Maintenance would sit at 1456.16

But...factor in activity level...

These are their definitions:

1. If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
3. If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
4. If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
5. If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9

So...starting with #3

moderate activity would be 2257
very active would be 2548
extra active would be 2766

The sort of "standard" then would be to add in 500 calories for bulking/ take out 500 for cutting BUT personally, I'd start with a little bit lower, especially if you're not already eating at these types of levels. I'd start with 200 extra and go up by 100 increments, depending on my gains. Even just eating at the 2200-2500 is probably a good place to start.

Keep in mind, it's just a guideline and you know your body best!!

Keep working hard!!
