I know I know, there are so many posts on calories, and how much you should be eating. I have read a lot of them....but I'm more confused now then ever! Can anyone help me on how many calories to eat? I have read so much on BMR & TDEE, and it still doesn't make sense. I guess because I get different numbers all the time when I try to figure it out.

I have only been eating better & exercising for 2 weeks now. MFP put me at 1,330 calories a day & i have no problem sticking to that, sometimes I'm still under. I have been reading where I should eat 1,800 calories but that sounds like a lot! I'm trying to lose at least 85 pounds (hoping by the end of this year). I have already lost 7 pounds but I'm pretty sure most of it was water weight. I work out every night to a video, right now I'm doing the 30 Day Shred but I will move on the Body Revolution after I'm finished.

If I cant figure this out then I guess I'll keep eating 1,330 calories, I mean so far so good but I don't want to hurt my body in any way.
