It is odd how terrible a lot of fitness coaches actually are at fitness, especially when it comes to food.
1700 is not all that much either. That is only your perception. From that calculator, you need at least 1400/day for your body to do its very basic functions like keeping you alive if you were in a vegetative state. Anything on top of that is from literally any other activity throughout the day. 1700 would only be 300 above your base calories, and it would be extremely difficult to not expend over 300 calories per day even if you're just sitting on the couch all day long only changing positions.
Once you start adding exercise onto that, and especially if you have a physically demading job, you're going to be using well over 2000 calories per day, and wouldn't gain any weight eating that amount. 1700 calories is likely at least 500 calories under what you expend on a daily basis, so you can figure to lose around 1lb/week (7 days x 500 calories = 3500 calories per week. 3500 calories = ~1lb).
I am not trying to sound standoffish here, but it does not sound like you have much of an idea of what's going on when it comes to weightloss. I would suggest reading the fitness wiki on reddit as there is a lot of good information there for beginners:

Why would you think that? The average women I know loses around 1700-2100 calories.. which means they maintain around 2100-2600. In fact, there are multiple threads about it.. below is one of them.
Women who eat more than 1800 calories
In the end, this is all a little bit of trial and error. If you want, you can start at 1500 calories a day, with macros around 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fats. Track that for 6 weeks, average out your loss and report back. If it's 1 lb a week, great.. if it's slightly more, you might want to scale back a bit.

calorie deficit = eating less calories than your maintenance level to create a deficit of calories and lose weight.
you do not need exercise to lose weight. You can simply eat less and you will lose. Exercise is just an added bonus to help with calorie burns, body composition, and overall health.
When you started with MFP you entered all your stats and how much weight you want to lose, it should have given you a number. this number already has your calorie deficit built into it. Simply log all your food and eat to that number and you will lose weight.

Boyfriends? As in plural? Not judging, just curious if that is coming across the way you meant it lol.
I personally don't use a calculator to figure out how many cals to eat. I just rely on my fitbit to give how much I burn each day and eat accordingly.0 -
They call it the Bootea detox because it's a laxative and all your "loss" is in the form of water pouring out your booty.
Other than that, I've got nothing.0 -

It isn't a lot. How tall are you? Your starting weight is around what mine was, and you do far more cardio than I do, I lost at around the 1800-1900 mark. Unless you're really, really short, it's not a lot. Assuming your put the correct numbers in that calculator, 1700 would set you up to lose a pound a week. Even that is a bit of an aggressive goal considering you're already at a healthy weight.

Having a job where you're on your feet all day and working out 4 times a week isn't what I'd consider a sloth! If you aren't comfortable with 1700, try 1600 and see how that works out for you. I am confident that you'd lose weight at 1700, though, if you're logging everything accurately. In my opinion, on a 1200 calorie diet you'd be setting yourself up to crash and burn.0 -
Thanks, I will do 1600 and see how I go.
At the moment I don't think I am logging accurately as I am waiting for my scales to arrive. I am just guessing at the moment and going by cups with rice etc.

I changed my goals and chose the recommended by MFP option and it has given me cals per day at 1200 and sorted my macros out for me at 40% carb 30% protein and 30% fat?0

i agree... I am thinking weight loss is ideal between 1700-1900 calories depending on the burns of the workout.I_Will_End_You wrote: »im 5'2

I have figured it out..... How does this sound:
3x REST DAY - 1421 cals
-carbs 31.6%
-pro 36.9%
-fat 31.6%
4x WORKOUT DAY - 1827 cals
-carbs 35.7%
-pro 28.7%
-fat 35.7%
BMR = 1310
TDEE = 2030
Week TDEE =14212
0.75lbs a week over 13 weeks
GOAL - Fri Apr 10th - 121lbs
How on earth do I eat that much in a day and loose weight!?

The same way I lose on 2500 calories a day... eat higher calorie foods. Heck, I know women who lose at 2100 calories a day... it's just getting out of the mindset that you need to eat 1200-1400... because you don't.. you need fuel for the workouts.
