    In my oppinion, you should go for the TDEE minus 500. You will set you activity level for whatever much you´re exercising and not eat back your exercise calories (since they then already are calculated in.) Yes, eat the 1700. Work your way up slowly- I went from 1200-1800 calories without gaining.

    Go for the 1700-1800 now! Most the time the more calories you consume; the more weight you lose! Don't slow down your metabolism by eating "too less"! Your body needs fuel to burn!
