7xs your body weight I believe is the biggest losers suggest for losing 2 lbs a week. In my personal experience this is too low for active people. My weight loss slowed down at that level once I bumped it up 200 cals I started losing again and then slowed again and then I added another 200 cals and am losing again. So it really depends on your body. I don't add back my exercise calories per se, but I do eat more than what is recommended to lose 2 lbs a week and I typcially still lose 2 lbs per week.
