    Male or Female - female
    Age 49
    Height - 5' 0"
    Current weight (if you feel comfortable) -107
    Goal weight - 90
    Number of calories you eat - 800
    Number of calories you NET - this confuses me so I can't say
    Number of calories you typically burn each day for exercise AND if you eat them back - 300 and I don't eat them back
    You are netting 500 calories a day fyi. In comparison, my sisters baby eats more then you, and you are netting less then 1/2 the amount most any website will recommend as a minimum...and if you ask me only special cases should go near the thought of minimums.

    I figured it this way: My BMR is 1200. You have to have a daily deficit of 500 calories a day to lose one pound a week. 1200 - 500 = 800. If I eat 1200 a day I'll only end up gaining and I've worked too hard to get where I am today. I'm afraid to eat too many calories.
    Aside from the horrible logic fail, the math is pretty poor too.

    - Current weight: 146
    - Goal weight: 135
    - Number of calories you eat: 2500
    - Number of calories you NET: No idea, I go by total calories (TDEE)
    - No idea about calories burned, but I strength train 4x a week, for around 30-80 minutes (average around 45-50 mins) and my job is fairly active, I'm on my feet all day.

    I know I know... follow you BMR and TDEE which I am... I only have 10 pounds to lose and I feel like Ive been overeating.... I have been having serious munchies lately so I just need some comparisons:

    I highly doubt you are overeating with a net of only 1000-1200 a day. It's more likely you are severely under-eating for the amount of exercise you are claiming to do above and beyond your normal activity, especially if you are feeling hungry.


    Me:

    Female
    Age: 40
    Height: 5'1"
    CW: 163
    GW: 150 for now (130 UGW)
    Calories: 1500-1900
    Net: usually around 1400-1500
    I workout 3-4 times a week and typically burn anywhere from 175-500 calories depending on what I do. I tend to try to eat back about 50-75% of those burned calories

    I have been doing this for about 2 months and lost 5 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is very frustrating! I am thinking about having my thyroid checked to see if there is a problem there

    5 pounds in 2 months is good! also, i'm sure that you are losing inches - have you measured that?
    keep going. patience is KEY

    Yeah, what they said--you are eating way UNDER, not over.

    Female
    Age: 48
    Height: 5'3"
    CW: 110
    GW: 110
    Calories Eaten: 2000-2400
    Calories Burned: 200-600
    NET calories: about 1800
    I eat most if not all of my exercise calories--my current goal is 1840.

    I work out 4-5 days per week (2-3 days weights/ 2-3 days cardio), walk every day, but sometimes just with the dog (a corgi who isn't very fast because his legs are so short and he has to stop to smell and/or pee on EVERYTHING). I'm in maintenance, but typically netted at least 1350 even when I was losing a pound a week (I ate less then, but averaged about 1600 when I was working out 2 days a week, then 1800-1900 when I started working out more), and I'm in menopause.

    MFP is set up so that you eat back ALL of your exercise calories and does not advocate that anyone NET less than 1200 calories. And MFP isn't as accurate as it could be because it doesn't take body fat into account when telling you what to eat or how much you burn. Go to a gym and find that out, or use one of the online calculators, but regardless, do not NET less than 1200 unless you are much smaller or much older than I am.

    CW...130
    GW....130 ( Maintaining for almost a year)
    Food. avg around 2000 calories.
    Net. 1620 calories.
    Calories burnt through exercise. avg 400-500 (I run about 30 miles per week, plus some strength training and yoga - I ALWAYS eat back my exercise cals throughout the week)

    When I was on my last 10 pounds, I was netting a little less - around 1440. You need to eat more. That is why you constantly feel like you need to eat. Eat more, and you will also feel better, have better, more productive workouts and not lose as much lean body mass with the rest of your fat.

    Holy crap, dude - you should be eating a lot more. I am a 5'5" woman, 130 pounds, and eat way more than you! You will lose way too much lean body mass.

    calories I NET: 1300-1500 ....but I've been feeling under the sea lately so my appetite has decreased just recently
    I burn around 100-500 calories each workout day and I eat them back. And I do have rest days where I won't workout. I blame DOMS:ohwell: ...suffering from it now!
