    Age: 27
    Height: 66"
    Weight: 175ish
    TDEE at Moderately active: 2345
    15% cut: 351
    BMR: 1600
    Eat: 1994

    I lift heavy 3x a week. I follow it with a short 20 minute high incline (15%) slow walk. 2x a week I do 60 minutes of a slow walk at 15% (Honestly, I do this to watch MTV and E! as we don't have cable at home ;) )

    Goal weight 155-160, size 6-8.

    Ummm, you are lifting heavy...maybe forget the goal "weight" and just shoot for the size...I am finding my original goal "weight" has nothing to do with the size at all when you are lifting heavy!

    5'3''
    144 lbs
    Size 6
    (highest weight was 250 when preggo)

    TDEE is around 1800
    I follow the NRW4W and eat 1700 on non-workout days and 2000 on workout days (keeping the 40/30/30 macro)

    I use NRW4W 3x week
    The other days I rest (i.e. run after my kids all day... lol).

    My goal is to build muscle and to slim down.

    Height: 66"
    Weight: 178ish
    TDEE at Very active: 2897 (training for tri)
    15% cut: (435) = 2462
    BMR: 1533
    Eat: 1800-2600

    I have been upping calories incorrectly for 1 month trying to net 1800. Just realized that I need to average my exercise for the week then eat consistently...I was calculating daily based on my training that day, using MFP to calculate calories burned.

    Training schedule is usually 8.5 hrs a week, averaging 400 calories a day (200 of which I will try to eat back)
    M- rest, 60 min Baptiste Yoga (161 cal)
    T- 60 min Spin(470 cal) , 30 min Strength Train, Heavy NRL4W (121 cal)
    W- 30 min Run (363 cal), 60 min Baptiste Yoga (161 cal)
    Th- 45 min Rowing class(423 cal), 30 min Strength Train, Heavy NRL4W (121 cal)
    F- rest
    S- 90 min Baptiste Yoga(242cal), 15 min Swim(141 cal), 30 min Strength Train, Heavy NRL4W (121 cal)
    Su- 60 min Bike (484 cal)

    I'm so glad I ran across this post I doubt I would have calculated all of that ... I will order an armband to get an accurate read on calories burned. how will I ever get 2600 clean calories in without having protein shakes all day long!

    I was eating 1200 calories my whole life and exercising hard. EM2Wl is heaven! I just need to get it right.

    I am totally lost on what I should be eating calorie wise. I am eating a lot more than I used to at the beginning of my journey. I am brand new to working out and not so new to eating healthy. I am super new to eating more while eating healthy. lol

    Age: 30
    Height:4'11"
    Weight - 139.5-142lbs (depends on the day)
    BMR - 1283
    TDEE - 2041(I think? it's for lightly active from fat2fitradio calculator)
    TDEE -20% 1633 (I try to eat between 1600-1750 every day, I still don't know if that's right. eek!)
    I am doing NROLFW 3 days a week and my dog walks me for 30 minutes 2-3x per week.
