Thanks again everyone for all the suggestions! I read a lot of discussions here saying that setting to sedentary is the best option and to only eat back about half your exercise calories. I also read that "starvation mode" isn't a thing so that's what drove me to set things the way I did. I do have an office job and sit at…

Thank you all so much for all the responses. In regards to eating back workout calories, I had MFP set to 1.5 lbs which had me at 1210, then my exercise is typically around 300-400 calories burned according to my Fitbit and that's how I end up at 1400-1500 calories per day.

Gotcha. I'm not sure that I can add exercise manually to Fitbit, although I do start the exercise timer during my workout so that it knows to track it. But that's not being picked up on MFP. I can always add it manually straight to MFP just do t want to be double counting somehow
