Question about the calories

I was just asking in simple math terms. im more of an artist and not a mathematical genius. basic group of numbers is easier than 234.2342538/24345*322423-2342*23432/2342342+2342342*234= x+*d-s+df+gsdgg.

that being said my average workout says I only lose about 200 or so calories a time. so it would only be 1800.

As for checking online- im here, this is online. im asking. Also asking and finding everyones opinions is better than a whole book of information such as;


MFP gave you a minimum of 2040 based on the input you told it which does not take into consideration exercise activity. MFP anticipates you will eat some of your exercise calories back.
Starvation mode doesn't exist.
MFP sets you up to lose weight without exercise. When you do exercise, you're burning more calories than they expect. In order to keep your deficit consistent and fuel your body, it's expected that you eat those calories back. Therefore, you should be netting 2040 calories after exercise. Many people, however, feel that the calorie burns are overstated and therefore only eat half of them back.
Ignore starvation mode as it doesn't exist, but a net calorie total of 1000 is dangerous anyway.
If you checked online regarding calories, it was calculated as per you weight, height, age and activity. So that means you can only have 2k calories per day. But you should also check macros: what s the protein, carbs and fat intake for you.
Nope. MFP uses the NEAT method so your daily goal EXCLUDES purposeful exercise/steps not accounted for in your activity level
Starvation mode isn't a thing. 1,000 calories burned in a workout is extremely high - be very careful when logging numbers like that and eating them back unless you're working out at a high intensity for hours at a time.

As for the excessive use for numbers and words, this is how my brain inputs things. when people say things separately its easier to grasp, but when i read it in a blog or a post a page long it makes no sense.

As for mental stuff I have ADD, Depression, and anxiety. Now whether im dyslexic on top of all that im not sure about but I know my mom has it. SO, I was told to go online- im here. I also looked up other things and its said starvation mode exists (http://www.healthline.com/nutrition/starvation-mode) However they said something about it not being what anyone thinks so i dont know. I couldnt read all of it before it sounded like gibberish.

As for those who helped and tried to explain reasons, thank you. I know I still have a lot to learn because its all confusing to me.

Ok, so here's this layout;

My intake is 2040
My activity is next to none.
Every other day I go on a machine bike at the gym for 30 minutes at level 6 and 10 MPH(which is just my normal speed on a bike I don't really push myself as im just starting out as of the 11th.)

Once the pool opens back up im planning on swimming a bit too. Not vigorous, but being in the water and doing things here and there, simple things like maybe 3 laps, wading, nothing really- but still more than I do in everyday life (which is mostly sit around and do nothing too physical.)

The 21st ill be starting my next semester of college which will have me there from 12pm-9pm which pretty much eats the whole day so i can do nothing, food intake those days will be interesting.

Also another thing to note is I hardly have money for food in general (35$ for the month once bills and such are paid) so eating calories will be hard even if I do love food. (longer story on that but basically I lost a type of income which fed me.) but now im making bare minimum. I can stock up on cheap foods which tends to not be the healthiest (such as 1$ knorr packages, ramon, hamburger helper, and such.) which will give me a couple meals for only a few cents each.

I know they are not the healthiest calories, but its what I can afford.

Also plain rice(or with spices) since that can make a lot for not that much money.

So there's all of that.
