Doesn't eating back exercise calories contradict CICO?
So everyone on MFP says to eat back exercise calories, and they also say calories in calories out (CICO) is the only thing that works.

Are BMI's accurate?
I'm 5'4 and 154 pounds. According to my BMI, I'm overweight but I don't look overweight at all so I'm confused, is it accurate? I don't think it's muscle because I don't do anything that would really give me a lot of muscle. And how many calories should I be eating? I'm not sure how much weight I want to lose, just enough…
