Excellent information, if not a bit confusing. I plugged in my numbers at the Fitness Frog Site:
BMI: 26.13
RMR: 2268
BMR: 2269
TDEE: 3517
If I'm reading correctly, I should never be below the BMR number if I want to continue losing (I'm within 12 pounds of my target). At this point, I'm really more concerned about adding some of the muscle back that I lost while staying in the 1500-1750 Calorie range. The weight is insignificant if I could lower my Body Fat %.
What number should I plug into the MFP calculators for food tracking?
REPLY: 3517 - 15% = 29890 -

I put myself as sedentary. Mostly because I have a desk job--M-F 40 hours a week.
I workout 6 to 7 days a week. Usually do tae bo, or chris freytag extreme workouts. On weekends I may do a bit more, like yard work etc.
Should I keep myself as sedentary?0 -

REPLY : I would try the sedentary figures first and see how your body responds ....If the weight is not budging with it then I would bump it up to moderately active....0 -

Holy cow, 6-7 days? Is that about an hour a day? You might be getting into some over-training syndrome there too, if every day is intense. That can have negative effects too.
Oh, those activity levels are based on 1hr of exercise on those days, so if you really have 6-7 hrs a week, that is indeed Very Active. If not real intense each day because of good balance, round down the final figure to nearest 100's perhaps.0 -
If you put yourself as sedentary then log your workouts and eat back those calories, if you put yourself as very active, which you are, then do not eat back the calories.0

If you are using fitness frog calculations you do not eat back calories at all unless your numbers fall below your bmr then you eat them back atleast up to your bmr number.0 -

Where did you get that from? Surely if someone puts themself in as sedentary when they are in fact active, then they need to eat those cals back - regardless of the calculator. The only time you would not eat exercise calories back would be if you did not include the exercise in your TDEE...0 -

^ apologies for the above post - (written BC - before caffeine)
you would NOT eat exercise calories back if they are already included in TDEE0
