    Keep in mind your TDEE of 2597 includes exercise. So here is the simple math.


    2597 (TDEE) *.8 (20% deficit) = 2077

    Calories consumed = 2000
    Deficit = 597
    Weekly deficit 4,179
    Weekly Weight loss = 1.2 lbs per week.

    So this is all I should do + my regular workouts and not count my exercise because it is already counted? .... :ohwell:

    Yes

    bingo :)

    Yes, but if I record my exercise, which I do just to keep track, would I need to eat anything back?

    No. if you have already done all the math then the 2077 is already taking your average exercise burn into account. You could always eat a little less, but NEVER less than your BMR.

    Because I wasn't sure what to do... So i asked a question to get clarification. That isn't wrong I assume.

    if it really bugs you to know how much you burn each day, and you don't want to go by averages, then don't do TDEE. If you want to log your exercise calories, then do it. Set MFP up to lose 1 lb a week, sedentary and then eat back your exercise calories. Otherwise, just take your TDEE - 15-20% and forget about logging in your calorie burns.
