I guess my confusion lies in the fact that adding my exercise calories back to the 1500 puts me in the range that I'm currently eating at (I usually burn 300-500) in exercise everyday so that pits me in the 1800-2000 range which is what I'm currently eating when eating back exercise calories. I'm sorry if I'm missing…

So would you recommend I try dropping to 1500 or so calories? That seems so small considering my maintanence level is at 2050 and I exercise every day.

At lightly active (and maintanence.....no goals set) it has me recommended to eat 2050 calories.

I've been doing the Brazil Butt Lift program about 3-4 times a week to work on my lower body (lots if squats/lunges/etc.) actually much harder than I was expecting considering I lift a lot. Sorry if my first post was confusing, I was drinking regular cola, so about 500 calories a day was from soda intake.

Yup! I just bought one a few months ago and didn't pull it out until I made the goal to lose 6lbs. I realized I had a hard time estimating portion sizes so it's been very helpful when logging my intake

Before I was becoming more health conscious my diet consisted of about 50 oz coke, one huge chocolate chip Belgian waffle, a 1.5 turkey paninis, abouth three pieces of toast with butter, a small cookies and cream milk shake from chickfila, and then dinner with the family (usually meat and veggies.) I worked as a waitress…
