How is eating TDEE- 15% Better than setting the MFP setting to lose 1 lb. per week and eating exericse calories?

I have found that if you set MFP to active (most people are active since they are working out 4-5 days a week), and 1lb per week weight loss, there minimum + exercise calories is pretty darn close to the Scooby calc.

However having a set TDEE target, without having to worry about the exact calorie count of a workout is easier for people to hit.

Most people dont accurately count their workout calories either.

The MFP setting at 1#+exercise calories put me way under my BMR~

Did you set your activity level to active or sedentary?

Also, eating at TDEE, you can be more consistent with reaching that number regardless of the day's activity. So if you have an off day and don't get that burn in, you still eat at TDEE. If your activity takes you lower than BMR, then you eat more.

As for post just above, if you are feeling hungry either you're underestimating your activity level, or you need to look at your ratios and make sure to eat more protein (preferably the solid kind since it takes your body longer to digest thus burns calories!)
