  • I do log everything accurately just not on her. My problem is knowing the right amount if calories to consume. If say mfp tells me to eat 1400 plus I burn 500 through exercise I will get bang on 1900 kcals per day. I would eat 250 less a day if I know what my total calories were to be. Thanks

  • Hi I put sedentary as I'm not working at the moment and the only exercise is like a 2 hour walk per day most days and every other day I'll try a 20 min jog as I have a back injury at the moment. Thanks
