Calorie burn from steps is crazy high today?
I've had my fitbit connected to MFP for about a month now. I almost never eat back the calories burned from steps, but I like to keep track of the deficit regardless. Last night I adjusted some of my goals on MFP to match up with my newest weight (20 lbs lighter!). I had MFP set to "sedentary" but I noticed that I did have…

changing calorie goal
My BMR is around 1,770 but MFP has my daily calorie goal at just over 1,200. My weight has been coming off veeeery slowly (I've lost 10 pounds in the last 5 weeks and still have about 90 more to go) and I want to try eating at my BMR for a while to see if that will help speed up the weight loss. Is there a way that I can…
