I will lurk if you don't mind

azx Mar 2021 10:35am, 10 Mar 2021 96 posts	Quote Pin azx If MFP recommends 1500 (male) or 1200 (female), then it's adjusted your goal to be the minimum it recommends. It's good to compare its recommendation by adjusting your settings to "I want to maintain my weight" or whatever it's called, and seeing how many calories it gives for that. 1945 to lose 2lb a week sounds great! The best I get on 1500 is 0.4kg/week if I did no exercise.

I am in a strange place as I’m happy where I am but would like a smaller number. I will keep plugging away at it I’m more scared of the weight sneaking back on. Pix I have lost my weight comfortably eating 1800-1900 cals I use MFP (bit slacking on that at the moment) I don’t eat back any exercise cals unless I do a crazy long run and burn mega cals
