Who else just walks as exercise?
I use the Pacer app (can't afford a Fitbit just yet!) to track steps and if I run, so I get in 20k steps a day from usual activity or runs/walks, setting my activity level as sedentary and using negative calorie adjustment. I would just like to know if anyone else in maintenance just walks and eats back all their calories…

"Eating back calories"
I'm just wondering if any of you eat back the calories you burn when working out? I'm currently on sedentary level and Pacer syncs my steps and calories to MFP (wondering if Ishould eat that back too). Or do you use TDEE method?

Am I sedentary or lightly active?

My maintenance calories is 1,760, but I'm just wondering if I should start consuming 1,760 cals immediately, or add 100 cals per week until I reach that number? I'm just a bit afraid of…
