Plugging into MFP-Help!

So I'm trying to plug in my TDEE calculated value (2570) into MFP so I can keep track of it. Under Daily Nutritional Goals, I plugged that value into the Net Calories Consumed spot. Under my diet profile, however, it says my Daily Calorie Deficint is -300 and I'm projected to lose 0.6 pounds a week (I also have under exercise 3 workouts for 60 minutes each a week). Is this what it's supposed to say for TDEE metabolism reset? I thought, since TDEE is maintainence, it would be 0 pounds lost with potiential gain. Anybody have any advice?

Thanks!

    If it's showing you a number with a - in front of it it's telling you that's how much you'll be OVER, so - 0.6 lb/wk means you'll, according to MFP, gain that much per week. Mine says the same thing, negative number values.
