Not really, no. I never once said it was exactly. In fact, I've used the term "approx" more than once throughout this thread. The 600cal burn was something I used as a comparison. I'm saying that when I entered my info in the treadmill correctly and then worked out, that when I then added my workouts to MFP (before I had a…

Oh I'm aware that as you adjust, you have to increase the challenge. I'm training for a half marathon, so I'm constantly increasing speed, distance and sometimes I throw in a bit of an incline. I run 5 miles now, at a speed of 6.5mph. I also do HIIT sprints 5-6 times per run, at a speed of 9mph. A month ago, I could barely…

No, I definitely burn that much. The treadmills says it (I enter height/weight) and matches up within 10-15cals of what MFP says too (when I used to manually enter my workouts) ..you're probably not running as fast as me.

I have mine manually set at 1375. I have a BMR of 1575, which means if I laid in bed all day and did NOTHING, I would burn 1575cals. I NEVER use MFP's recommendation for 1.5lb/week or 2lb/week because I feel that 1200cal/day isn't healthy for ANYONE.

Thanks for your help everyone. I still haven't figured any of this out. And I'm still hungry. And I still run 5+ miles a day. And my BMR is still 1575/day. And FitBit still recommends that after running 5+ miles, I only eat 1600cals/day.. Neat.

Something has definitely changed. My caloric intake setting on MFP already has a large deficit calculated into it, therefore ALL exercise calories should be able to be eaten back. I have used this method before and lost 20+lbs, no problem. I thought having a FitBit again would simplify things, and instead it leaves me…

If my goal on MFP includes a deficit already, then before I ever had the FitBit, when I would run, and enter my workouts into MFP, it added all those calories to "what I had left" to "eat" for the day.. Now, I'm "getting" about 1/3 of them, and I don't know what to do. Something's not right.

If my caloric goal in MFP already includes a 500cal/day deficit, (as I said, 1375c/day is justtttt above my Basal Metabolic Rate) how do I fix this? I think I'm basically double dipping now in terms of deficits.
-
I already have a deficit set in MFP that is just above my BMR (afterall 1375cals/day is basically nothing, as I'm 5'8" and 164lbs) Lol. I feel like FitBit is doubling up on the deficit maybe? I already have my activity level set to sedentary, and my "goal" is to lose 1lb/week. All I know is, that eating less than…
