Wow - they are way off I would think. Probably the cycling confused the issue. I used FatSecret and if I entered 30 mins of moderate cycling it would give me calorie credit of something silly like "400 cal burned" - I dont think so

I finished up not counting any cycling time and used the least activity setting. Hence my 2200 a day. I still didnt lose at their predicted schedule at that.
