Hi My Fitness Pal

I have been doing some research and am considering switching over to eating based on TDEE. I would like to have some input and friends who eat based off of their TDEE and I am most curious what you eat.

I did the scooby calculator and it says my BMR 1637 and my TDEE is 2537 and my Caloric cut is 2157. After eating around 1470 (my goal set by MFP), how and what in the heck do I eat to reach 2157? And then my question is do I eat to 2157 and then exercise back to my BMR?

    Here's the way a lot of us in the eat more to lose more look at it:

    Once you have your TDEE - cut, you eat that every day no matter what. It's just easier. The only time you really should eat back your exercise calories is when you burn so much that you are below your BMR. Otherwise, just try to stick to the same total.

    Eating more does not mean adding in bad food. Easy ways to add simple and healthy cals are adding avacado to salads, eating a small serving of nuts (especially almonds, pistachios or peanuts), eat peanut butter with your apple or celery (just measure the serving size).

    There are easy ways to make it happen - just don't let it become an excuse for eating junk. :)

    I have an open diary - feel free to take a peek.
