    According to MFP, my BMR is 1,187.

    My daily calorie goal used to be 1200 until I started going over all the time because my appetite became seemingly insatiable. :/ and the red numbers kept flashing by.

    So I just changed it to "maintenance" and now it's 1480.. hopefully I'll be eating/netting under that most days though.

    My BMR is around 1700. My goal is 1500 and I eat back exercise. I am close to maintenance but when I was losing, I was set to 1300 and ate those cals back!

    How are you close to maintenance if you're eating below your BMR?

    5'6" woman, 167 pounds, 32 years old with a desk job. My daily intake is currently 1200. Once I reach goal, I will increase that number to probably 1400-1800 to maintain.

    all those calculators don't seem to apply to everyone, i have over the past 9 months tested myself twice with my heart rate monitor for a 24hr period and my TDEE on a non exercise day is alot higher then what all the calculators say it should be, i'm apparently very active when i am seated the majority of the day so this whole time tho it has been working for most of that 9 months, i was setting myself at sedentary/lightly active and eating 1600-2000 calories varying assuming my TDEE was around 2300 when in actual fact my TDEE tested just last week is 2800 for a 24hr period then exercise ontop.

    rounding down that would put me in a Moderate-Very Active when as i said my job is a forklift driver i'm sitting for 14hrs+ day 10 of which is at work. Doesn't make sense. Mind you i am overweight still and til i get properly tested i have around 25% body fat.

    SO in summary seems i've been undereating and overtraining the whole time :(

    I would not think of a forklift driver as sedentary... the extreme example of that is a formula 1 driver - they lose a heap of weight during a race, because of having to stabilise their bodies when driving. What you are doing is not the same as someone sitting in a desk.

    You need a high level of concentration not just on something in front of you but peripherally and you also need to stabilise your core while driving. I can (at my desk for example) actually do work in a super slouchy position, without it affecting my work, you can't relax your break foot and you need to steer and you need to (I guess) change into reverse. You have to twist if you don't have mirrors.

    So I think that could warrant the extra 500 calories a week for sure.

    My BMR is 1668
    TDEE (no exercise) is 2000
    20% Calorie Deficit is 1600 - My Goal is 1650

    I have started exercising but currently not doing too much, I will increase my caloric intake when I exercise - ie eat back some of my exercise calories. The last 2 weeks I have lost 1.2kg each week (2.4lbs)

    You can lose at 4000 cals per day? What kind of exercise do you do?

    BMR = 1709

    Calorie intake set by MFP = 1200

    Am not sure daily intake should be this low.........I'm losing but not sure how I can reduce more when/if I plateau???

    Good luck!
