You make a good point. Currently I'm not weighing anything, I am using cups/scoops.

I'm sure I'm slightly off but it couldn't always be in the same way so I would doubt I am off by more than a 50-100 calories a day and the Mifflin formula says I should be taking in 3450 calories even if I do no physical activity that day. My point here is a 1500 calorie diet has less margin for error than a 3000 calorie diet. Is my logic faulty?
