differing opinions on eating goals
ok so i have spoke to quite a few people regarding how they use the fitbit and mfp together and it seems lots of people dont eat their activity calories back and some do. personally eating them back so far has worked for me as this week i managed to get past my plateau and figure out my correct TDEE. personally i found…

why are the two daily goals different per page?
so my calorie goal is set up to 1410 based on a 250 cal deficit. i use a fitbit so it syncs extra activity. i currently have it set on sedentary as i figured out yesterday i did not like negative adjustments later on in the day when i become inactive. some days when i am working i can be sedentary as i have a desk job and…

i lost .6lbs this week
so this week was the first week using my fitbit properly with calorie deficit. i decided to opt for the daily eating goal to change but always having the same deficit based on activity. clearly this seems to have worked this week and averaging out my TDEE it appears through the week i am burning 1900 calories per day…

results are in....
fitbit flex says activity level over 7 days for tdee is 1800 so around the lightly active bracket. this week was a kind of typical week but i did miss a couple of workouts but walked instead of these. now i can finally adjust my eating goal. fit bit starts every day with 1450 based on sedentary - i usually get up to 1550…

love eating 1680 calories a day
this is my minimum for the day and if i have done more activity i am eating up to 1800. i am not seeing a loss right now so might have to work on increasing activity but this week i have done zumba everyday of around 20-25 minutes so far and last week even did a 50 minute workout. i log the extra half 40 minutes as extra…

is it normal to put on weight?
i can only assume i am retaining water since i am in the 2nd half of my cycle but i have put on 3lbs since eating more? i only skipped a workout for 2 days? i have gone from 147 -150 in a week? i cannot imagine this is fat ?
-
slowly been increasing calories.
so mfp has me at 1650 to maintain as a NEAT this is the sedentary setting based on office job. i would like to think i am a least lightly active with doing 25 mins per day of cardio and strength and i have 3 kids. so scooby has me at 1680 to lose at 15% and tdee at 1977. does this sound ok. today i started eating at 1680.…

eating at BMR?
So for months i was under the disillusion that for me to lose weight the bigger the deficit the better. i was told CICO is the be all and end all and i was probably not losing because i was eating more. i was eating 1200 calories religiously every day even to the point of being so hungry all i could think about was food. i…
-
activity level?
175 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week, desk job, clean on days off and look after 3 small children. i would have thought light to moderate activity maybe? this calculates calorie allowance at 1765 -1899? at 15% deficit
