Depends on how you have calculated your initial calorie goal, most formulas include your work outs so if you have used one of those you can ignore on MFP. But if you have not included those in you initial calculations they you'll need to eat them to maintain your weight. For me when I calculate my macros I use formulas…

1600 calories is not that much at all dependent on your calorie expenditure. and you said you only have 1hr - 1.5hr to work out. Thats plenty of time to get a good workout especially if you structure them properly. The right balance of macros and the 1hr - 1.5hr x 5 days of traning you currently doing should give you a…

Only take but a few seconds to hop on a scale and track the weight. The more you get used to tracking the ups and downs the more you start learning about what working for you or whats not.

You are going to have to work the meals around your lifestyle, e.g. how many breaks you have in the day, what time you train etc. Using…

It's mainly all about calories in and calorie expenditure, a plain cup of brewed coffee has less than 5 calories. So if you look at it from a lifestyle point of view, you shouldn't feel limited in anyway.
