have you set your goals and logged your food and exercise.

The app or site answers the question simply enough if you're using it right.

How many calories does MFP set your target at? It'll be at least 1200, as that's reckoned to be the minimum you need to survive.

That's BEFORE you exercise.

if you've worked out you'll probably need a bit extra. What did you do to burn 866 calories?

Try this and see what number pops out. If you exercise like that most of the week, use the 5-6 hours of strenuous activity modifier, and pick a safe deficit percentage. This calculater INCLUDES your exercise calories used in it's total, so you wouldn't add them on and eat them back. It will also give you your BMR, which you should never eat under. That's the fuel you need just to get up and go to work and make it back to bed each day. I burn an extra 400-500 daily, 6xweek, and I'm losing safely on 2400 cals a day total calorie goal. Best of luck.
