thanks so much to the OP re: the MFP calories vs TDEE. Extremely helpful My question is also about HRMs and FitBit. Would love to have someone (or some folks) check me on this. I live in NYC -- so walk a lot due to subway, but do have a desk job. Have set MFP profile on lightly active as per OP reco. I wear a FitBit that…

hit send too soon I appreciate it!

thank you @wait_loss and @grouchomark. Beyond helpful.

My understanding is BMR is daily calorie needs. when you exercise on regular basis, it changes your daily calorie needs - essentially increasing the amount of calories your body needs to exist while exercising.

thank you all for your replies - very helpful - and keeping me motivated! I can tend to be an all or nothing type dieter - not helpful - so I am trying a new approach. Seems to be working... Thanks!
