    The reason MFP is telling you you aren't eating enough is because you aren't replacing the calories you burn during exercise. Anytime your calorie deficit goes above 1,000 they are going to complain about it (and rightly so). If you are actually burning 500 to 600 calories with exercise then you should be eating 1,880 to 1,980 calories rather than the original 1,380 calories. Granted, some people think the calorie burn estimates are inflated, so they only eat half of their exercise calories. I believe they should be changing how they log they exercise and eat right up to the goal rather than logging extra calories and then not eating some of them.

    Just found this thread - jennbernardo79, I hope your weight loss has progressed! Great advise from everyone!! Maybe I'm not eating enough either. Going to give that a try for a couple of weeks. Thanks!
