Ok so I used the fat2fit calculator and it says I have to consume over 2300 calories. I know I'm not going to be able to eat all of thos calories. Why are their numbers so much greater than MFP?0

i need help on this net calorie thing...i keep reading everywhere that net cals should be around 500-800 in deficit and not to have more than 1000 of the remaining green calories. My boyfriend and i tried running these numbers but it is impossible to get the values to match up like this. When i started this fitness plan back in april it was great and i lost 35lb so far but my weight loss stopped 3 weeks ago and i have stayed the same weight since.
my calorie goal is 1580 per day of which i do only eat around 1200-1400 and do about 80min of tae bo every morning which burns about 1281 plus i have a seven month old which also keeps me busy, and if my net remains around the zero i have an average of between 1400-2000 in remaining calories per day.
I'm sure something is going wrong but no one has an answer and this is my first ever diet so i dont know what to do to adjust this. Any ideas?0 -

Are you putting it as "sedentary" or are you including the fact that you work out?
I ran my numbers at sedentary so that I can accurately log my workouts and eat back my exercise calories.
If I ran the numbers as "moderately active" or something, I would not log my exercise at all.0 -

If that's what comes out of finding your sedentary TDEE and creating a deficit, yes. As long as you are accurately logging your exercise calories burned and food consumption.0
