If I enter 150lbs (my goal weight) and sedentary it gives me 1880 calories for maintaining that weight??

Is that really right?


Sorry if this is a dumb question but does that mean I could eat 1880 plus all my exercise calories (per HRM) and not gain the weight back??

    I believe you are correct. That's how I understand it to be.

    Yes, supposedly that should work. However, if you are just now getting to maintenence, try not to jump right to the maintenence calories- add 200 or so a week slowly until you get up to your maintenence level, since your body is used to fewer calories. Congrats!

    I still have 29lbs to 150lbs lol. I'm just even more excited to get there now.
