Increasing calories as you exercise more?
My doctor started me on a 1,200 calorie/day diet as I was very sedentary due to a severe back issue. My back is getting better and I have begun to do some moderate waliking 3-5 times a week. How do I know how many extra calories to add? Also, how much protein should I be striving for?

Newbie confused about deficit / exercise deductions
Hoping to lose 2lb a week so have calories at 1200 on MFP and then logging what I eat and what exercise I do. Yesterday, MFP told me I hadn’t had enough calories. So when I go for a run, for example, the calories get knocked off and it wants me to eat more to make that up? Is it that 1200 is already low and then exercise…

Steps and calories
Hi, MFP is counting my daily steps and converting them into calories, but when I then go and do a workout to gain extra, the calories from my steps are removed. Why is this, why is MFP only counting the calories from my workouts and not steps? I am using Apple Watch and Iphone. Thanks.

Website for muscle groups and exercises
I remember about 10 years ago visiting a website where you could click on muscle groups like "chest" or "biceps" and it would show you a HUGE range of exercises targeting that muscle. I am about to make a new program and would like some inspiration. Does anybody know what I am talking about or if a similar tool exists?
