Im wondering how much people are eating while still losing who are similar to me.

My stats~
Age: 23
Height: 5'9
Starting weight: 272
Current weight: 165

I have MFP set to lose 1 pound per week since Im getting close to my goal and it says I should be eating in the 1600s with calories. Normally Ive been eating 1150-1200 but have recently been bumping it up to around 1400 because of my workouts. I splurged for a few days though and gained like 6 pounds (I was at 159) and I know it can take time to lose again after upping your calories. Im curious how much others are eating while losing.

    I'm 10 pounds away from my goal and I have bumped my calories up some since my initial loss. I was eating between 1480-1590 during my initial loss. I'm now eating between 1640-1750 per day at Lightly active and I'm still losing quite a bit. I'm down 40 pounds in 9 months. I started at 191 and I currently weigh 150.

    Thats awesome! 150 is my goal. How much do you normally burn in a day?
