Fitness goals

Target


Calories Burned / Week

1,480.0 Calories / Week



Workouts / Weekends

3 workouts



Minutes / Workout

60 minutes


If you follow this plan...

Your projected weight loss is: 2.0 lbs/week

You should lose 10.0 lbs. by May 13

So does this mean I should eat 1230 Calories on days I dont work out and 1480 calories on the days I do?

Thanks for your time!!

The way I understand this is your daily goal is 1,230 without factoring in any exercise . The 1,480 is what MFP calculates you will burn a week doing your workouts . When you do a workout and enter it your daily calorie goal 1,230 will increase . You must decide if and how many of those exercise calories to eat .

Always NET at least your daily calorie goal.. so eat more on exercise days.

I would really suggest for you to play around with the numbers. 1230 is far too low as it is and you tend to eat less than that on most days. Eating enough really does help your losses much more than not eating enough.

Great work on the losses already!!!
