Hey! I'm new to the whole macro tracking world and wanted to know why the IIFYM calculator tells me I can have 1800 calories per day but MFP tells me I can only have 1400. Any insight??

Thanks!
Kate

    MFP allows you more calories if you exercise, IIFYM calculator already takes that into consideration so you don't get extra.

    If your workouts are consistent just use IIFYM. But if you need motivation, workouts are sporadic....then use MFP numbers and log workouts.
