  • According to Fat 2 Fit Radio calcs, my BMR is 1460 and TDEE is 2010. If I take a my TDEE of 2010 and reduce it by 20%, I get 1608. Where the heck did MFP get 1360 then?
  • height is 5 4’, weight is 152, age 33 and i put lightly active. i try to exercise some during the day and sometimes i can do a video for an hour...i dont have a set exercise schedule.
  • So if my cals to maintain are 1700 and MFP calc’d 1360, this calorie deficit may be too high?
  • Thanks Nikilis! HA I think your right ...2 pounds is not that big a deal and I probably should eat a bran muffin :laugh: I went ahead and did all my calcs and got the same as MFP...1390 cals per day. I used a 20% deficit. I try to add my exercise, but sometimes its hard to figure out how to calc my calories lost. I…

  • I am 5'4" and currently 157. My first goal is to lose 10 pounds, down to 147. I ideally would love to be around 140. We will see! I need to find an activity that I like to do and I think as soon as I find that, the weight will come off easily.
  • Yes I am referencing Dan’s post and I did put in my current weight for both goal and current weight. I think my headaches could be part allergies and part diet. I think I wait too long to eat in the afternoon . Thank you guys so much for your help! i really appreciate the responses!
  • Okay thanks, I will stick to what MFP says! It's just confusing because when you would customize your calories by using the TDEE and 20% deficit method when MFP does it for you? Couldn't you also change your goals and have MFP calc calories based on your goals?
  • I entered my current and goal weight as the same to find my current TDEE and then took that number and deducted 20% for a a deficit.
  • I LOVE the Kind Bars...they are delicious and not high in sugar and all. They are great.
  • You can't go wrong with salads, but I really love low-sodium turkey breast on whole wheat or spinach wraps with low fat honey mustard, skip the cheese, add spinach, tomato. For salads, I do 2 cups spinach, 1 tbsp dried cranberries, 1 tbsp crumbled goat or feta cheese, grilled chicken breast, 1 tbsp of walnuts or chopped…
