    Nevermind that we get no credit for strength workouts.

    I know it's a little counterintuitive, but if you go to cardiovascular under exercise and search for "strength training", it will give you a strength training exercise entry with calorie credit :smile:

    I think MFP, as great as it is, is partially to blame. Other sites tell me My bmr is 1400. P90x tells me to eat 1800 calories, but if I set my goal as such then MFP tells me I won't lose any weight, which makes me doubt myself. Nevermind that we get no credit for strength workouts.

    If you set your activity level to very high and set your goal to 1800, you wont get this problem. And then you wont have to bother with adding in exercise calories.

    hi! i'm new to mfp, and i'm kind of confused. are you saying not to go below 1200 cals total or 1200 net cals? i've been trying to eat about 1400 calories every day, but i do also try to excercise and according to mfp my net calories are around 1000 each day. should i be eating more?


    Yes. because your body needs 1200 to function properly. So if you eat 1400 and work off 400 it still leaves you 200 short for the day. Shouldn't be tough to get there. 200 cals is very easy to make up in your day.
