I agree with the other posts. I just wanted to add that my rule of thumb is to add back *half* the calories of my exercise (and even then, I don't count my minimum goal for the day). I like being able to earn a tablespoon of peanut butter or whatever. But by only rewarding the extra exercise and by only eating back half, I can be pretty sure that I'm adding to my deficit rather than undermining it.

A lot of things can effect your Body Media read, like temperature. I burn a lot more calories on days when I work and I'm hot and sweating a lot, which I don't think are true calories. If the temperature is more comfortable at work, I burn fewer calories, but the work doesn't change that much.

The other option is the calories you enter. It can only be so accurate. Make sure you're verifying manuacture serving size by measuring/weighing it. They may say a serving size is 30 grams but your serving is actually 35 grams. I've started overestimating my calories more, unless I am certain of what I have due to weight and/or measure.

Maybe reducing calories, even by a couple hundred, and looking more closely at serving sizes will help.
