I currently weigh 231lbs and looking to lose 2lbs per week. MFP has set me at 1200 calories per day but is that outwith any calories I burn? Should I also be eating back the calories that Im burning until MFP says that I've used my allowance? Or should I be sticking to 1200?

    eat back around 50% of the calories you are burning with exercise. Not sure you need to be eating as low as 1200 though so you really do need to eat some exercise calories back to fuel your body.
