Hello, 

 

I'm still trying to understand the Calorie Burn Goal. From what I've read here, I need to multiply my BMR with activity level. 

 

My BMR = 1829

Sedentary = 1.2

 

I get 2194.8 so is 2194.8 the Calorie Burn Goal I should be setting up?

That works if you want a very easy to meet goal. 🙂

I have numbers very similar to yours.

But then I added expected exercise calories of about 700 per day.

I ended up at a goal of just over 2900 for my daily calorie burn goal.

It has been working well for me.

I modified mine similar to yours and doing a 3000 calorie burn goal since I am doing a -1,000 deficit (2LBS per week). Thanks for your response...that helped 🙂
