    Ok I read and reread the Rules again.
    Please tell me if I have done this correctly....
    my weight is 170.2
    BMR 1479
    BMR x 1.3 = 1922 (light activity)
    Have it set to "Maintain Cureent Weight"
    So I went into Goals and customized my Daily Net calories to 1922 as my maintence
    I subracted 1479 from 1922 for 557 calories.
    If I go over 557 calories from exercise I eat those back...
    so say if I exercised and burned 889 calories...
    889-557=332
    1479+332=1811
    What will my deficit be?
    I want to try to stick to around 1000 remaining a day for a 2 lb weight loss....so are my calculations correct?
    And I do change my Daily Net Calories to 1922 or do I leave it at MFP's calculations of 2000?

    (I think I've been doing this right since I started 2 weeks ago but the only thing I didnt change was the Daily Net Calories - it was swt for MFP's maintenance of 2000. And I have been able to keep a daily deficit of 1000 each day this week except one so I was sort of dissapointed when I only lost .2)

    Help please and thank you :)

    For your example, you would eat 1,811 and your deficit would be 1,000.

    Goal: 1922
    BMR: 1479
    Food: 1811
    Burn: 889
    Deficit: 1000

    If you burn more than 557, add your goal (1922) to your burn (889) and subtract the deficit you are going for (1000). This gives you how much to eat -- 1922 + 889 = 2811 - 1000 = 1811.

    I am in the same boat as you, I'm 172 and did the Body Makeover earlier this year, I was at 166 gain the weight back now it is hard to get back off. I mean a challenge. I just started the Oliva Method and like it but was stuck eating 1200 calories so now I'm like what to eat. I see the technique is to eat more and exercise more. I like that, I try to exercise every chance I get.

    Good Luck:happy:
