    I ran my numbers on Fat2Fit and it says my BMR is 1554. With my goal weight put in, and moderate activity it says 2294 as my TDEE. But that's the TDEE for my goal weight. Do I need to eat that amount daily? Or net that amount? Help! Or do I go with my current weight and eat at TDEE -20%? I have been eating at TDEE -20% but I have been netting that amount, so technically I have been eating back some of my exercise calories. I'm confused. I need to get this weight off! Everyone's help would be appreciatedd! Thanks a ton in advance!

    Katie - on the F2F page enter your current weight for your GOAL weight. That will calculate your current TDEE. Then subtract 20% from that. (Check Dan's screen shot and caption) Whatever that number is should be your daily goal --- or avg. daily goal over a week's time, i.e. on days you work out, esp. strength training, you might want to eat a few hundred more calories (protein!) and a few less hundred on the days between. Otherwise, don't eat back the exercise calories.

    Awesome! Thanks. I'll give it a shot. I have been eating back my exercise calories to net around 1950 and havent lost anything, so I thought I was probably doing something wrong.

    I have mine set to sedentary, and I still get a negative calorie adjustment from FitBit on my off days. :-(

    Is anyone else having issues with getting the calculators to load? I've been trying all morning, on different computers, and can't get farther than inputing my info. :-(

    Dan,

    Could you provide some links to research showing that one should never eat below BMR?

    Thanks!
