Would love friends who eat about 1400 calories

I had mine set to 1300 but have been thinking of upping it to 1400. Feel free to add me!

I am set to 1440. You can add me if you like.

Mines set to 1500 but Im usually closer to 1400-1450. I accept all requests!

I was at 1320 but lowered my goals so I am allowed 1500 but I try to stay around 1400. You can add me.

Remember MFP is your NET calories. When you set up your "Goals" you select your Activity Level and is estimates what your basic/normal day TDEE will probably be. Any activity you put in above your MFP/Normal TDEE it subtracts that number from your total calories consumed. (Whether you input it manually here or use a device that syncs. I use Body Media Fit Link)

Example Normal Day-No extra activity from what you and MFP have determined your expending daily. Normal/MFP TDEE is set at 2110 calories and calories consumed set at 1400 NET. That means if you don't eat above this and your TDEE is correct you should loose and not gain. [Theoretically at the rate estimated by MFP].

However once you start logging your activity above your normal it changes...

Example-Active Day Above Normal: So you had a busy day and you also hit the gym. Your Normal TDEE is as set by MFP is 2110 calories. But your device or MFP estimates/shows that you did 300 calories of activity. This is added to your Normal TDEE giving your a Overall TDEE of 2410 for that day. What MFP does is add 300 calories to your daily need. So it calculates that you should/could eat up to 1700 calories TOTAL and still only NET 1400.

Most people will refer to this as "eating back your exercise calories". If you are active and working out and ONLY eating 1400 TOTAL and not logging your extra calories burned you may be eating under 1000 NET Calories. Your NET calories should not be under your calculated BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) which is the minimum nutritional calories you need to do nothing more than perform basic body functions such as breathe and little to know physical movement otherwise.

I use a Body Media Fit link to track my TDEE. It automatically syncs up my burn above my MFP settings (There are some super lazy days where I don't hit my Normal MFP level and it tells me to eat that difference less than 1400). Some use a Fit Bit and some Use just a Heart Rate monitor and manually add their calories burned as displayed on the Heart Rate monitor.

It takes constant tweaking to understand and make it work for you.

I average around 1400 calories a day.

I net around 1400, feel free to add me

I eat about 1400 NET calories which mean my total is around 1900-2000 on average with my activity/exercise.

I'm about here as well. Feel free to friend me! I do most of my own cooking and I really don't eat much in the way of processed foods. My downfall tends to come when I bake, or drink... especially because drinking then leads to my overindulging in said baked goods, or getting into the peanut butter jar >.>

:drinker: Me too!! hahaha Nice to hear someone with the same triggers :laugh: Anyone can add me if they'd like!

My goal is 1490 not including exercise. Add if you like.

I eat 1500, can we still be friends?
