    Since I think your calculations and settings are off (you're accounting for your work twice), I wouldn't eat them back.

    If you're set for active you're already getting an extra calorie allowance. You don't count the walking twice.

    It only gives me 300 extra calories, believe me, I burn more then 300 calories at work.

    But you burn far less than that when not at work. It is an average. If you put yourself at active and are only active at work, then the only exercise you would add would be deliberate exercise. I would suggest if you think your calories are too low raise your activity level to very active and don't eat the calories you burn at work.

    Isn't she from the new V television show? Leader of the aliens.

    Have you ever walked 15 miles? That is very very far. I'd suggest walking it on your day off to see how you feel afterwards. If you walked 15 miles a day, you probably wouldn't have any weight issues. Try to be realistic. In the meantime, do not eat your exercise calories back. If you are off on your math, the scale will certainly increase.
