so my limit is 1350 a day. most days im under that and there may be a day or 2 when im slightly over. my question is, if i eat all 1350 calories everyday and excercise will i still lose weight or should i always stay under my goal? i know sometimes ill have a big breakfast and then ill want a big dinner but not going over my calories. is this ok or no?

    It's called a goal because you're expected to reach it. So yes, if you factored 1350 is the amount you need to lose weight and you eat 1350 you would lose weight.

    Agreed - your daily goal has a built in deficit, so eat to goal (or even a little over), and you'll lose weight. I would also eat back exercise cals so that your net cals reach goal at the end of the day - if you don't, you create an even larger deficit, which isn't good - a smaller, reasonable deficit is better for fat loss.
