<human>: Hey all, I'm new to the group, but not new to weight loss. Quick back story: I'm a 26F who is currently about 40lbs overweight (5'2, 173lbs). I have struggled with weight for most of my teen and adult years, and have successfully lost a large amount (35lbs) of weight once on Weight Watchers when I was 20. Since then, I gained all of it back plus about 10lbs. 2 years ago I was nearly 200lbs and diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I changed my eating habits again and got down to around 165lbs, but gained a little back over the winter. 

I'm using MFP and doing CICO. I just want to make sure I am not eating too many calories, so I want to run my plan past you guys. Any advice is greatly appreciated! 

I calculated my TDEE as a sedentary person, because I do have a desk job. Cutting 500 calories a day would put my at 1274 calories per day. I also let MFP do it's thing, and if I say I want to lose 1lb per week, it suggests 1380. 

With that in mind, I am not actually a sedentary person. I bike 6-10 miles a day, 5 days a week, I take a yoga class once a week, and I walk my dog. I track the exercise in MFP, and I will usually eat SOME of the calories "earned" by activity, but not all.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: So my question is, of people who use MFP, do you find their calorie recommendation to be accurate, and do you eat your calories earned from activities, or not?
