    I've been doing something similar for a few months and it seems to work for me. I didn't want to worry about eating back excercise calories, so I used my future goal weight BMR (2118) x 1.375 to get my daily calories intake which was 2859. I took 509 off of that for a 1lb per week loss (plus I like round numbers) and I work towards eating 2350 everyday whether I workout or not. I use the Net calories to track how well I'm doing on workout days. So far it's worked for me. I didn't know it was a particular method, I was looking for simple and it seemed like the best way. Less worry and work this way for sure!

    how do I figure out what my maintenance calories would be?

    Go to the goals section of your "my home" tab and update your goal to "maintenance" instead of losing 0.5 (or 1 or 2) pounds.

    I'm in a plateau right now also, so I'm going to try it out and see if it helps. Let me know if I did this right.
    I'm lightly active, looking to lose 2 lbs a week.
    My BMR is 1,582
    I weigh 185.
    I set my calorie goal to 2,050.
    I need to have a deficit of over 500 calories a day to see a difference.
    I'm a right?
