  • The cal goal is a built in deficit from what you would need to maintain your current weight at whatever activity level you chose. Without additional exercise.
  • If it says to eat 1680 cals, that is what you eat to lose the weight goal (1,2lbs or whatever you set for a weekly goal). Additional exercise will increase your goal number to eat that day.

  • To cut the noise on this thread, I thought I would put in my 2 cents: I do have a couple drinks a couple days a week (sometimes none). I brew beer and cider for a hobby and occasionally have a scotch with a cigar. I take my calorie goal and eat as best as I can. When adding in my exercise, I find that I can usually slide…
