    Based on a combo of Fitbit and my HRM, calculated over the 6 months I have been using MFP (I used WW before that), I average a TDEE of 2,200 calories a day and routinely eat around 1700-1800 calories. I'm averaging about a half pound a week loss now that I am close to my goal weight. Overall I have averaged just under a pound a week.

    When I first moved up from the 1200 MFP assigned I gained and maintained a few weeks, then started losing again.

    What is critical to learn is just how active you really are each day and what really is your TDEE. Calculators based on averages might not fit you and many people overestimate how many calories they are burning during exercise. I tracked activity and calorie burn for 3-4 months before I really felt comfortable that it was accurate.
