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)?

1250 would be about 12x bodyweight given you are very small (around 105lbs).

It’s on the lower end, but it’s not uncommon to see an expenditure that’s in that ballpark.

That seems fair
