TDEE and MFP
Hi all, I have just calculated my TDEE based on light exercise, so 1-3 times a week, doing elliptical/exercise bike, or jogging, plus a daily 15 min walk, which has put my daily intake (when I take off the suggested 3500 calories per week for weight loss) at around 1500. At the moment my MFP is set at 1200, then I add the…
