am 5 ft 2 mum of 3 young boys

I am breastfeeding my son about 80% exclusively (I estimated 400 cals aday)
I have 60lbs to lose and currently weigh 14stone 12.

I made a mistake with tdee and was eating my workout calories. Now I am stumped whether to just use mfp or continue with tdee.

I do fitness blender workouts x6 days a week a combo of cardio and weights.

Could someone help me work out how many calories I should eat?

    I would choose the method that is easiest for you, and stick to it. If TDEE makes sense because you know your workout routine and it is consistent, you can enter that goal into MFP and customize it. I personally have been adding in my exercise calories because my routine varies a lot week to week so I like to be sure of my activity level. It's personal choice.

    If you want someone to calculate it for you, you have to provide specific stats and take into account whatever extra calories your OBGYN told you to maintain while breastfeeding.
