    MFP calculations are RUBBISH. I just went to my "goals" section for fun and asked them to do a guided recommendation. It told me to eat 1200 cals a day, to give me a 0.8kg a week loss (just over a pound).

    My BMR (as calculated on this site) is 1698. You're not supposed to eat below your BMR for many reasons. I have my calorie goal manually set at 1700, and I lose just over 2lbs a week. This week I've lost 6lbs.

    There's no way I'm eating LESS.

    My BMR is ~1660. My goal for a 1.5 pound deficit is 1570. There are days where I don't hit BMR because I didn't get as much activity in, since I eat back my calories, yet I'm losing. As @walkingalong said, when you're much heavier it's fine to eat under it.

    You're only a little under though. MFP recommends some 500 calories under. IMO that's way too much.
