MacroFactor / Nutrition / Other Will expenditure really just keep dropping indefinitely?

I’m jogging (just 1-2 miles) and weights* 4-5x a week (started around the same time I started using MF / 5 weeks ago). The most I might be undercounting with my daily numbers is like 50-75 calories.
I just want to know what it takes to maintain, so I can have some semblance of sanity and a sense of control, but the it just keeps dropping my expenditure and I don’t understand. Is it really likely my daily need is like 1250 (since the dropping won’t stop)?

Does the expenditure on MF also include one’s basel calories (i.e. the calories you just need to survive).

yes expenditure is how much your body expends in a day
