    Hello, I'm new too, one week on MFP. I hope I have been figuring calorie intake correctly. Can anyone answer? Example, if MFP says I can have 1500 daily calories, then I add 500 exercise calories does that mean I can have 2000 for the day. I hope that is the way I would hate to start over.

    Big golf clap for getting that correct. The numbers at the bottom of your diary are green or red.
    GREEN>>> Eat more of these
    RED>>>> Eat less of these
    Red on the total calories means eat less and/or exercise more.

    OK??

    thanks.. i think i posted that incorrectly.. how do you make a general post instead of replying individually to other peeps posts?

    You were correct. Just hit the green "reply".
    At the bottom of your post I clicked on "Quote" to get that blue box around what you said. I could have edited it as well by deleting part of your message as long as I don't touch the quote] or the [/quote and then start typing my message below your "quote". OK?

    Thanks, it seemed pretty easy (the MFP) so I started questioning whether I was doing it correctly.
