I'm sorry but this doesn't make any sense to me. Everything I've read on here says if you use an external TDEE you DON"T eat back your calories. So at 1550 I wouldn't eat back anything. And my biggest concern is making sure FitBIt has my correct BMR/TDEE. And do I turn off the option of having it count my calories earned…

Actually, after reading a post from one of the links (re: activity level) it appears my TDEE is 2277 making my 20% defiicit 1800. At 25% it's 1707. Now- since I did these on an external site I should adjust but not eat back activity, correct? Also, I chose exercise 3-5x week so does this take into account the days I don't…

Thank you everyone- it was MFP that gave me the 1200 but I can see now how that would be an issue. I rarely eat back all my exercise calories so I was routinely under 1200 calories. It looks like I need to be around 1400 net. It's going to be weird adding food in- I have a pretty good routine! Thank you for the website…

Thank you! That is the most concise answer I have heard after reading through a TON of these posts. I appreciate it!! Now, one quick question re: the timer. Can I use it just as that- a timer? For runs and things? Or will it screw with the syncing?

Again, sorry to be dense, but your saying to use the FitBit to time AND log it in MFP? Wouldn't that be double dipping b/c there's also going to be a calorie adjustment for my activity?
