Hello everyone, wondering if the calorie intake recommendations actually are accurate, because I feel like I should be taking in less than recommended.

    Seems accurate enough for me, but I use a Fitbit to help track my activity and a digital kitchen scale to weigh my food. Mileage may vary depending on how accurately you are tracking your calorie intake and output, and even then it's still just a guess. :)

    They were pretty accurate for me, but having some idea of your stats, goals, and what MFP recommended for you might help you get more specific advice.
