Has anyone used online calculators to find their maintenance level then created their own deficit and had success?

    The other online calculators are using the same information that MFP is.

  • If my bmr is 1,500 and my tdee (minus exercise calories) is 1,800 which one do I subtract my calories from and add my exercise to to create my weekly deficit?
