So, I've been using the LoseIt! program for a while, with some success, but I just got a fitbit and decided I might as well do MFP again for even more motivation.

MFP says I can consume about 1,350 calories, whereas LoseIt! says 1,504.

Why the difference?

(I try to eat at least 1,750 calories to eat as much as my BMR per day, and just exercise to get back under the 1,504 calories.)

    I don't know LoseIt but MFP doesn't take exercise into account, you're supposed to eat your exercise calories back.
