    I use MFP's suggested calorie count and eat back all my exercise calories. I don't worry about macros. I focus on eating protein, fruits and vegetables with limited sugar and carbs, but again I don't really worry about it as long as I am near my calorie goal.

    I look at calories only; however, over time, you realize that certain foods stay with you longer and help you feel full while others (like pure sugar) add up very quickly and fade very fast. Then you start to adjust and choose "healthier" foods that satisfy long-term vs. short-term "fixes." I still enjoy my treats and "budget" for them, but they are no longer the main focus of my diet.

    There is nothing magic about that 1200 number. It isn't appropriate for most people. I lost this weight eating over 1600 plus burned. Forget1200...it usually means you're not understanding MFP! (not directed at OP).
