    the only thing I don't understand is - My TDEE is 1786 (sedentary and then I add manually the exercise I do) so my goal would be 1429 (TDEE - 20%), correct? why does MFP puts me at a 1200 calories?

    I was thinking of switching to TDEE - 20% and that is an interesting idea of taking the TDEE of sedentary and then adding the exercise on top of it (and eat back most of those calories, but not all just to be sure). My TDEE sedentary is 1410, but yeah, MFP likes to put me at 1250 if I put a pound a week, but I do exercise heavily on a frequent basis.

    I manually change my goals becasue I like to do the 40/30/30 macros.
