Sorry. Meant 1840.

So I am back at the MFP suggested 1840 calories. Today I ate: 2244 Exercised: 404 Net: 1850 Remaining: 0 Is this correct then? Just making sure...

djeffreys10, I will adjust it back to 1840 and give it a few weeks. MFP estimates that is what it should be anyway. I still exercise 5-6/times a week so I should be eating those calories back? I was never sure... some say do, some say don't. Thanks for all your honest input!

djeffreys10, I do measure everything. Measuring cups, food scale... etc. 2048 still seems so high to me. When I started origjnally, MFP put me at around 1840 I believe. I adjusted is manually because I really thought even 1840 was too high. Most days, with exercise, I am netting between 1000-1200 calories.

My activity level is set to Sedentary because I work at a desk at least 8-9 hours a day. Based on the information provided and my goal of 2 lbs/per week, I assumed a 1000 deficit would be ideal. Since it's higher, I guess I am just confused. Am I eating too little or not working out enough? Or both? Or am I just totally…
