MFP vs. TDEE
I am 39 years old, 6'4" and 227 lbs currently. I lost 13 lbs within the first 6 days of eating the 1620 calories that MFP recommended. I have now gained 2lbs over the last 5 days. I know this is proababaly normal with adding an exercice routine, but I want to make sure I am doing the right thing from here on out. MFP says…
How many exercise calories should I eat back?
Currently MFP has me eating 1620 calories per day. As an example I burned 700 calories for a 60 minute workout today. MFP now shows I have 2320 calories to work with today. If I want to lose weight, how many exercise calories should be eating back into my daily food intake? Any help would be appreciated.
