Question about net calories
I just wanted to know where it states your net calories.. ( Goal calories : Food - Exercise Calories = Net ) What should you be aiming for for that overall net? My goal calories is set at 1200 daily. Should the net be 1200? Or should it be lower for a deficit to lose weight? Thanks!

Hello, I have been on MFP for quite awhile. I had my goal at 70-80 pounds. I have lost 58 pounds and am about 15-20 pounds away and I think I have hit a plateau or a stall.
