how do you know your TDEE is not on the low side?? (serious question ) anyway its closer and i guess after working with those numbers for a month or so i will know if they work or not

so i got onto Garmin and explained my issue - they had me do a total reboot and reload of the of the software now for 10000 steps i have a BMR of 2336 and 2205 in active calories giving me 4541 total cals for standard day this sounds a bit more realistic

7200 is what the garmin shows which is active and non active then mfp is subtracting an amount based on steps?? leaving the garmin showing a net of 4500 cals

interesting read for anyone who is interested https://forums.garmin.com/archive/index.php/t-351090.html it would seem that the garmin is over inflating the active calories amount so if we assume MFP is right at about 1900 target - the garmin says 4500 from exercise and i consumed around 1500 of food so i am short of around…

so the jump from lightly sedentary to light active is around 400 cals.....at ;lightly active it says 1850 net calories a day according to the garmin / mfp my exercise (steps) is 4500 cals.....so it says after i have eaten light breakfast / mid morning snack/ lunch and dinner that i am eating short by 3300…

height is 6'1" AVERAGE steps is probably 9000 - 10000 so why doesnt mfp show me that?? and are you sure set it to active?

Firstly thanks for your help here right lets paint the picture Age 45 Weight 118kg height 184cms MFP set to sedentry 2 worksouts 40 minutes each a week (gym 2 days a week and general office work during the day) lose 1kg a week Sunday according to my garmin thingy 11500 steps (9.71kg) 2321 resting cals 4759 active cals 7080…

does this make any sense??? \earning calories from daily excercise??

sorry can you say that again - so currently it tells me 1530 cals a day (sounds very very low) and target cals for exercise 770 a week?

does this look right/... not so sure on the numbers

ok checked and i can definatley adjust the activitiy calories but not the non actiivity calories

so i guess that would make sense - if you adjusted the calories burnt by say 25% across the board then aimed to reach the higher amount (did anyone understand that)

do you guys have anythoughts on fitness bands as well............i got one and was all ready to use it tracking calories etc (i mean daily calorie usage calculated with hr) then the trainer at the gym put me off as he suggested that the caluclated amounts were well above what you would actually use since then i have not…

yes in australia.......whenever i have tried monitoring foods - i find looking them up and logging them quite frustrating as finding exactly what you are having is not always listed

he he read without my glasses LIMA beans

551 is sand???????? WTF?

lol was hoping someone had done the work for me

swags?

thanks......i think my biggest problem with tracking calories is the nightly family meal - the wife cooks normally so to work out calories per serve always seems problematic im sure others have the same issue.any advise on how you handle this?

thank you all - supplimentary question lol where on earth do i find the MFP calculator

can i also ask for calculation figures - i have For men: BMR = (9.99 x weight in kilograms) + (6.25 x height in centimeters) - 4.92 x age in years + 5. PLUS an activity factor (approx 1.2) Sound right?
