    i don't get this. The whole idea with TDEE is that you figure in your activity level so you don't have to worry about eating back exercise calories. I have mine set at 2239. I can eat up to that to maintain, or under that to lose.

    thats what I am saying too..

    unless the OP was so used to eating back exercise cals on MFP settings..or never adjusted for TDEE???

    Whatever calorie goal you arrive at, let me ask one question: that do you plan to do when you reach your goal weight? Just keep undereating until you're either underweight or your metabolism finally slows and you plateau?

    A big part of the whole diet journey, imo, is learning how and what to eat to fuel your body so that we don't fall back on old habits when we think we're done. You don't have to eat more, but you can eat smarter by including some higher calorie options (nuts, cheese, full-fat dairy, olive oil, etc).
