When I calculate it with NO exercise... I get: Your BMR is: 2309 Your TDEE is: 2771 calories -20% then puts me at 2217/day So on top of that I have another 500-700/day deficit from what MFP puts me at to drop 2lbs/week.

When I calculated it yesterday I selected 3-5hrs/week of moderate exercise (which is actually probably on the low side... it'd be more like 9-10). I didn't see any option for the sedentary job but maybe I should look for a calc that has it. Thanks!

Haha thanks! I do lift weights 2-3x a week (my gym times). Eating more might be hard to do now!

I'm in the same boat! If anyone would like to add me please do :)
