I just checked my settings on MFP and it gives me a 1200 calorie a day allowance with the settings at 1.5 lbs loss per week. But that is lower than the BMR that I calculated? How is that? This is not the first time that I have been told I am not eating enough, but I really am trying! I feel like I need to graze all day to…

ok, so I just calculated the my BMR is 1409 and my TDEE is 2259. So you are saying that I need to ignore what I burn from exercise and eat in between that amount?

So is there a place on MFP to calculate my BMR and TDEE (which I have no idea what it is)?

Sort of. So if I'm supposed to eat 1200 calories a day and I spend 65 minutes doing fitness boxing and burn 563 calories (I wear a heart rate monitor and this is the average number for this activity), should I eat 1200 + 563? That's what MFP tells me to do? Or should I eat the 1200 calories and take the burn? That's what…

So what if I am under my net (with or without exercise) and I'm not losing?

So when I set up my profile, my daily calories is 1200 - does that mean 1200 net? If I'm not eating 1200 net, am I not eating enough?
