    It's set for 1370. Sometimes I go to 1600-1700 because of the workouts.

    As others said, focus on measurements not the scale.
    And calculate your TDEE to figure out your calorie intake.

    Can you tell me more. It is an intriguing answer that I'd like to explore but I don't quite understand what you mean regarding MFP already counts my exercise? I might be misusing the tool and eating too much?

    Also, make sure you aren't double counting your exercise. If you are logging (and eating back) exercise calories make sure you didn't already use that exercise to determine your activity level (in which case MFP already counted those calories).
