    I am in dire need of some advice. I have incorporated peanut butter in to my morning snack which has worked wonderful because it keeps me full until lunch. The problem. . . the fat content is HUGE! I am looking for an alternative to peanut butter. I have tried almond butter and it is really gross to me.

    Activity Level Daily Calories
    Sedentary (little or no exercise, desk job) 1888
    Lightly Active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk) 2163
    Moderately Active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk) 2438
    Very Active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk) 2713
    Extremely Active (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training, i.e marathon, contest etc.) 2989
    NOTE: Please remember that this calculation is just a guideline. Your metabolism may be higher or lower based on the amount of lean muscle you have. Use these numbers a a starting point and tweak them up or down based on your weight loss or gain. It may take a couple weeks to get your exact calorie level.

    Look at your activity for the week as well as your occupation.
    If you meet the criteria on the list above then eat those calories-20%.

    Thanks.

    I know this may sound like a silly question as I've found this road map very easy to follow however, there is one thing i'm confused about if someone could clarify...why enter our current wait instead of our goal weight?...should we not be entering our goal weight to determine what we should be eating at....or do we work out the -20% drop ourselves..

    Wow... this is a whole new way of thinking... I'm going to have to take some time and try to wrap my mind around this.

    Yes - work out the -20% yourself from your TDEE :)

    Ok so I am following the roadmap and am eating 1988 which is 20% below halfway between light and moderate TDEE. I do track my exercise on here and use a fitbit but don't eat any of them as I am using the roadmap. However most days I earn about 500 cals through walking and/or pump but sometimes this can be up to 1000 if I see my trainer and walk around a lot. Therefore I am often netting 1000-1200 and am not losing weight. So am I not eating enough? Thanks

    The trick is having days off.
    You are cutting calories so you must have rest days to avoid any CNS fatigue.
    It looks like this on paper:

    My schedule and stats:
    TDEE 2500
    BMR 1600

    Sunday 2000
    Monday 2000-400=1600
    Tuesday 2000
    Weds 2000-400=1600
    Thursday 2000
    Friday 2000-400=1600
    SAturday 2000

    So if I worked out every day i'd be eating at BMR every day and probably would burn out quickly.
    But because i'm having rest days and topping off my hormone levels and keeping my metabolism up, I wont burn out as quickly.

    Question....
    So if my TDEE-20% is the same as MFP + exercise calories...is that a coincidence or is that they way it should be?
    Thanks!!
