Thanks! I had looked everywhere but there. Turns out it is default on Miflin. Well I don't know what else to do because a number of people told me my TDEE had to be wrong was why I am not losing weight. I've been staying at 800 calorie deficit, some nights more and just going up and down by 3 lbs in weight and I have been exercising 4-5 hours per day. I've now changed to seated lifestyle even though that doesn't make sense to me since as I said I exercise several hours each day. I will see what eating at much lower calorie does though.

Just a thought...if you are exercising that much and at that deficit, you may be overtraining and your body may be keeping in stasis in order to preserve itself????? To me, that amount of exercise seems excessive(unless it is your profession) and I can't imagine the body taking that lying down, so to speak. Sometimes too few calories or too much exercise can have a rebound effect in that the body tries to conserve its resources when unduly stressed.
What is your daily calorie limit?

This bodybuilder told me I am not exercising enough. Yeah how many people average the amount of hours exercise per day I do? Plus I am running around at home cooking, cleaning, laundry, gardening.
I am 239 lbs down from 274 but it took me 3 years to lose even that little. I have been on Fitday about 3 months and have only lost 8 lbs then gained 2 back while being very strict in counting calories, what I am eating and weighing food. I need to lose about 110 more lbs.
