  • Appreciate your replies, I will update my settings :) Cheers.
  • Thanks for the link. My TDEE is 2576 less 20% - approx. 2060 calories. So I should eat 2000 calories a day to lose 1lb a week?
  • This is the bugger with MFP - when entering my details I chose 'sedentary' as I have a 'desk job', maybe they should tweak these choices to show exercise levels. Based on my exercise levels and not my job - I probably fall more into active, or at least, lightly active.
  • So what do you subtract from to create a deficit?
  • Thanks for the reply, my BMR is 1847 / exercise 847 / total 2694. Working with a 500 calorie deficit - do I subtract that off the 1847? Meaning I should eat 1347 calories a day?
