So wait... MFP has me set at 1820 calories net but my BMR is 2,358... Am I doing something wrong by staying under 1820?
Not wrong, per se, but probably not sustainable long term, according to what I've been told.
Been going about 3-4 months now. I sometimes feel like I need more but generally when I work out I feel fine on little food. My TDEE is 3,655 and my BMR is 2,358. Should I up my calorie intake? Just seems hard to do while keeping in my macros0 -

IMO, yes you should. Your macros are a percentage so will go up. I'd go up 100 cals every couple days until you're eating 24000 -
