My calorie goal each day is 1950. Should I maintain a deficit on the days I'm not exercising? For example, consume 1500 calories on the days I'm not exercising.

    the 1950 is with a deficit, so u can eat them all, and thats why you should eat the exercise cals as well.

    Thanks so much. I just don't want my body to go into starvation mode and be stuck at the same weight like I had been prior to joining MFP.
