Best bet is to find out your TDEE. You can customize your calorie and macro goals on MFP. Hi! I'm new to this- just 5 days in. MFP set my calorie goal automatically to 1200 calories. I'm having a little trouble adjusting my meals to that and I think I'm always around 100 calories more. What exactly is a TDEE? TDEE= Total Daily Energy Expenditure, the amount of calories you eat to maintain your current weight. You can subtract a certain percent from this (10-20%) and eat that amount every day to lose weight. But you do not eat your exercise calories back, exercise is included in this method.
