Hi! I've added up 7 days of Fitbit "calories out" and divided by 7 - 2078 is the average. Some days I walk around 14,000 steps but always hit 10,000 as an average except the very odd day. Does this mean my TDEE should be around 2078? What about net calories? Thanks again for all of your advice!

I'll stick to MFP for another week or two. If I haven't…

I love drinking! I try to stick to under 14 units per week but do go over sometimes. Over the summer I drank a lot! Still, most days I'm under on calories and usual drinking is within my allotted calories. But if it's a big occasion I just enjoy myself! I've lost 12 pounds in three months which is nice and steady for me as…
