I've lost weight at both 1200 and 1500 net calories......these become doable for me because the calories burned exercising allow me to eat enough to not feel hungry every day/all the time.

I am a 56yo male, 5'11" tall. So, counting calories including exercise totally works for me. I love numbers. I love hitting or besting numbers. I am highly detail oriented. I work best with visible quantifiable data on my progress and goals. This site/app works great for me. In 2012 I used MFP for the first time. Lost over…
