So I've gone hard on it today. I'm 18, 6'1 and 198 lbs. I want to get down to 180 or so, and some of that to be muscle.
Do these estimates seem good? Should I do this every day?

>832 calories of excercise
Bullshit. What did you do?
>>37499845
You srsly need more protein m8. My macros are at 50% protein.
>>37499842
It is not impossible, but it is highly unlikely, that you did 832 calories worth of exercise today (because MFP has absurd estimates). Eat what you want and enter what you want but a scale will clear up any weirdness you might experience about how fast you lose weight.

Biking for an hour burns ~400 so if he biked for two hrs i believe it. I used to cycle for almost 4 hrs a day.

Even that will depend greatly on your TDEE in general. That 400 of yours will vary drastically from a flabby guy that never exercises to a professional racer.

I walked three times today, I didn't keep track of the miles unfortunately. I'm using my phone and it supposedly can track steps, that's the only reason I believed it. What's a more accurate estimate, 500?
Thanks for the tip on protein Anon, I'll try to get some more in
>>37499845
Looks good, anon.
Don't listen to these Protein-know-it-all fuckers who really don't know anything about protein except what they've read here.
A 10k run would burn that much. Biggest mistake people do is not weighing food and underestimating servings.
>>37499934
You burn about 100 cals per mile from walking.
Idk if you walked 8 miles or not but you should always underestimate the amount you burn and overestimate the amount you consume if you're trying to cut.
>>37499934
I was doing some very similar stuff to that when I was first starting. And walking is definitely a good start and certainly better than nothing - so keep at it.
Eventually I decided that as long as I was 300 under my TDEE I was going to be okay, and then stopped counting those extra calories from exercise that I supposedly allowed me extra food (even if I really did exercise 200-400 of them in a day).
I wouldn't calculate exercise calories. Just stick to your hard goal.

>Bye bye muscles
