Your calculation of TDEE * .80 is correct. My understanding on TDEE is if your calculation is the 1772 that is what you eat each day. You do not add back calories for exercise - it's already calculated in the TDEE. Seems much easier to me to have the same amount of calories each day, regardless of activity level.

It's been about 3 weeks since I've started increasing my calorie intake. The first week I lost 2 lbs but then gained it back and this week, I'm about 1/2 lb down.

Thanks to the both of you for your response. I'm much more interested in making good changes, like regular exercise than anything quick that is not sustainable. And if I can do it without starving all the time - even better! :)

I've been substituting organic unsweetened applesauce for oil and it works great! I usually will substitute 3:1 and you can't tell the difference. I also like to make mini muffins so you get two or three and feel satisfied.

Great job on the weight loss! I started MFP about 9 weeks ago, and have been following the 1200 calorie goal per day with the exception of the 4 days a week, I'm exercising (elliptical and weights for a total hour) and have only lost 4 pounds! (Good news is I AM losing inches) I'm beginning to wonder, like you, if I…

I am new too - been logging in a couple days, and I can say this is a super great way to track your food! I love that you can enter your recipes and then the serving size and see how many calories are in what you are eating. Good luck!

I cook mine with nutmeg and cinnamon. Then after it is cooked add a little brown sugar with peach slices, or blueberries, or bananas and a little milk.
