Daily calories and TDEE-so confused...

mom24littleones

I know there have been some great, informative posts about this, but with my 4 little kids running around here I just don't have time to read through them all. I have read a bit though, thus prompting this post...please forgive if it's a repeat of info already posted, it will just be easier for me to find and read through this one post vs. the many out there

So, MFP put me at 1360 calories to lose these last 10 lbs. However, I don't know if that includes my TDEE...I am a SAHM, with 4 kids who rarely sits down. My "food prep" exercise calories alone would be over 300 a day, if I logged them according to the MFP exercise list I am on my feet most of the day because I homeschool and my kids are, therefore, keeping me always moving...BUT, I am not going to the gym or taking 3 mile walks daily, thus not putting my exercise status in another level. We did rejoin Lifetime and, now that school is slowing down, I've gotten to the gym twice plus swam with the kids 3x...

WITH ALL THAT, I am not dropping weight. I am a healthy eater by nature...love the good stuff, but love my sweets too...what I'm not sure about is if I am eating under my calories because MFP isn't really calculating my daily expenditures and, therefore, I HAVE actually been eating too little. I am faithful about logging/counting/measuring, I eat my exercise calories most days...I am also using Isagenix Isalean and Isapro for 2 of my meals...I still have my snacks and a balanced dinner, adding up to 1360 everyday.

SO, can someone help me? Is 1360 what I should be eating, or more? I can give more details for anyone who is able to striaighten this out for me! Thanks in advance!
