MFP "Goal" settings help

jdb3388

What I'm trying to do is set my self up to where I eat 2000 calories in a day. MFP asks me if I am "sedentary", "Lightly Active", "Moderately Active", or "Very Active"

I work a desk job so I am Sedentary during the day, however I exercise 6 days a week burning about 600 calories per day.

I assumed I should tell MFP that I am sedentary, and then add the exercise in the column that it has separate for that. Problem is, when I do it that way, the numbers don't add up to what my TDEE calculator says. I need it to say that I eat 2000 per day, and burn 600 per day. That should project me to lose roughly 2.6 lbs per week (I am obese and have a lot of experience with low cal diets so going a little over 2lbs a week isn't going to hurt me)

In addition to that, my Macros are WAAAAAAAAY out of wack.

Why doesn't it add up?

If you know what you want the calories and macros to be, just customize them in your settings to exactly what you want.
