I love it. I go 7 days a week.

Ok. I'll try eating 1700 calories again and see if anything happens. It's so discouraging, I was losing weight just fine without exercise but now I feel like I can't stop exercising but I can't figure out how to lose weight again. Thanks for your help ndj.

I log everything I eat. I weigh and measure everything. When I change my mfp to lose 1lb a week it tells me to eat 1550 calories.

Looks like you've been exercising while losing weight. I'm having issues with that. Ever since I started working out I stopped losing weight. Did you always workout or did you add that in? If you added it in, did you up your calorie intake when you started working out?

Everything I find online about my bmr and exercising says to eat a ridiculous about of calories but I'm thinking that's for people wanting to gain muscle, maybe they are already at the percent of body fat they want. I'm more focused on losing body fat than gaining a lot of muscle.

It is HIIT.

I eat about 110g of protein each day. If I change my goal to lose 1lb a week mfp says I should eat 1550 calories.

I have went to all the websites to calculate my bmr, it ranges from 1500- 1700, when I add in my exercise it says I should be eating 2100- 2700 (depending on site). I workout for 1 hour, it's 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes doing weights/ floor/ rowing. My heart rate is between 85 and 92 percent of my max for…

The trainers at orangetheory said 1200 was starving myself. They said I needed to eat 1600 just to meet my bmr and then on days I work out I should eat back what I burned so that made up the 2100 calories. But to me that sounds like I would maintain my weight doing that.
