TDEE, BMR, and Exercise Calories

I'm on Day Four of the metabolism reset. I didn't exercise much the first 3 days but today I got in a "typical" workout which, if I had stuck to my TDEE (1960), my NET would have been under my BMR (1390). I'm planning to eat back a couple hundred calories to bring my net to my BMR because that "seems" the right thing to do.... but I'm not quite sure. Plus I already feel like I'm eating a TON... soooo looking for some support or advice on this? Maybe look at my diary if I'm not making sense, you'll see what I mean.
Oh, also, I've already lost .5lbs in 4 days... so am I eating the right amount to begin with? Is this possibly normal to lose initially? I was sort of mentally prepared to gain drastically.... and don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to be losing, but just want to be eating "enough" you know?
Thanks
PS I'm looking for more EM2WL friends!
