Hi everyone, I expect someone will help me.☺
I have my setting on sedentary, I'm a sahm. This setting doesn't include any exercise calories, right?
Therefore when I workout I can add my numbers and eat some of them if I need.
Thanks all.x

    I have mine set at sedentary as well and so if I want to eat more I have to work for it!!

    I have a fitbit and it just transfers my activities straight across, I don't like the numbers MFP gives you for activities as they seem tooo generous so I log anything extra into my Fitbit app.

    Obviously you don't need a fitbit so just record your activities straight into MFP just be careful of the high numbers given.

    Hope this helps :bigsmile:

    Yes...just make allowances for estimation error. Database and calculators can substantially overestimate burns, as can cardio machines, etc.
