I'm a little confused on how to caluculate TDEE. I have figured out macros of fat and protein but don't know how many calories to eat to put me in a .5/week loss. Anyone want to help me calculate.............I'm brain dead from going back to school and gotta get this figured out now......
Either let MFP give you a calorie goal and log your exercise, or use one of the TDEE calculators out there. Any goal is just going to be a starting point. You will figure out what your TDEE really is by carefully logging and after 6-8 weeks start tweaking based on your results.
Can you get me started on how to get MFP to figure a calorie goal for me please? I've been logging in food and exercise for 3 weeks but I don't think the calorie goal is what MFP created. I think it is one I created. Thanks!

I set up my account about 4 years ago, so I'm not sure. But I would think go into settings or maybe goals, make sure your height, weight, and activity level are correct, and choose lose weight and 0.5lbs per week. There is probably a thread in the Getting Started forum pinned to the top that will help as well.
Best you could do is take some stress off them by say, not over drinking alcohol. Which would take stress off a lot of systems in the body actually.
Some food is like that in general, some food is like that specifically for a person.
Like a person lactose sensitive could get by with a little in combo with other foods perhaps - but to attempt the gallon a day of milk method would be a real stress on their system.
I'll never be able to get into sexypants (fat distribution) but at least I got a sexy mid section thanks to this forum. Ok, I could potentially recomp, but then my face would get even thinner which I'd prefer to avoid. So heads up not only for sexypants but also super sexy abdomen

It might old, but it’s still very relevant
