One thing I learned that people need to watch more closely, don't feel entitled to more food just because you exercised, often times you are consuming what you burnt and more.
2,100 calories a day is a nice place to start if you are exercising some every day or every other day.
Luis, I would be interested in knowing a little more about your diet. You're working with a nutritionist, right? Have they provided you with a simply breakdown of protein, carb, fat percentages? Or, have they been more prescriptive than that? Are you using a diet tracker of any form and if so which one?
