    Example, last night I did 60 minutes of zumba which MFP told me was 600 calories but I know from my hrm it was only 150. I logged 150.

    oh i dont know that that's correct, either.

    mfp tells me 1000 calories but the hrm i borrowed from a friend said 600, and thats seems much more accurate.

    im not sure i would bother with a zumba class if it was only 150 calories LOLOL

    granted it depends on size/weight but still....

    1700?

    There are about 6 weeks a year I can lose on 3000+ a day.

    Too much?

    That depends.

    When my training schedule kicks over 20-milers for the weekly long run,s and 15k (9.3 miles) for daily runs I'll easily eat more than 3000 a day ... and still lose weight.

    I'm on 1700 and I'd love more calories, it doesn't feel like a lot to me.
