    I have mine set at just over 1500/day. I used the bmr at the fat 2 fit website which is a little bit more than what mfp said for me. Most of the time I either hit my goal or under. My weight loss is pretty slow but I'm ok with that. Slow and steady wins the race right? Feel free to add me as a friend, I log on daily :smile:

    *I'm medically monitored right now*

    I try to stay around 1000. When I was eating 1200 I was still gaining weight with no exercise. So if (when) I go over 1000 I need to make sure I am working off the calories to net 1000.

    I'm doing my calories based on my TDEE, so on cardio/light workout days I eat 1550-1750, and on my heavy lifting days I eat about 1800-1900 calories. I'm in maintenance and this has been working well for me. I've seen some great strength gains and I expect to see measurement changes soon. I don't eat back my exercise calories as they've already been accounted for in my TDEE calculation.
