I just started on MFP and diet last week. Which is what most people use, counting the calories from MFP (1200 daily is suggested) or using the TDEE approach (2052 calories per day is suggested)after I subtracted 20%). There is huge difference in calories between the two. Because of that, TDEE scares me but maybe that is…

heart rate zone to burn fat
