Stop bet calories changing

You are supposed to eat them back if you are using MFP to calculate your calorie goals for you. The goals do not include exercise, so you need to eat those calories back.

If you are using a TDEE formula for a custom calorie goal, turning off exercise calories is one of the benefits you can get by subscribing to MyFitnessPal premium. Or you can just not log your exercise or enter it as "1" calorie for whatever exercise you do.

Thanks for your replies. I genuinely thought that for a calorie deficit I should stick to my TDEE and any excercise was a bonus. I shall have a read of the links.

I will unlink my watch.

Thank you 👍😄

MFP does not give you your TDEE. The TDEE DOES include exercise.
but again, the goal given by MFP is NOT the TDEE ( I think it's called NEAT which does NOT give an allowance for exercise calories, it's the amount to sustain your basic body function). So if you are using MFP you need to add exercise calories.

MFP Premium allows you to toggle off the inclusion of exercise calories, but, as other posters have said, you should avoid doing that for the reasons above. Plus, unless you're using the Premium for the other features, seems like a lot to spend for just the exercise calorie exclusion option.
