    How much can you stick to consistently? For example:

    Aim for 2lbs, have a very low calorie allowance, get hungry, binge...

    Or aim for 1.5lbs, have a higher calorie allowance, adhere quite happily...

    Which makes more sense?

    Only you will know what level works for you best, or at least how low you can go and still stay on point.

    I like between 0.5 and 1 pound per week rate- not sure what that is in kg

    Both 1.5 and 2lbs give me 1500 cals per day

    I believe MFP gives 1500 as a minimum for males.

    It have me something like 1400 when I was aiming for 2lbs a week, is this a new thing?

    Either way, the point remains - find a balance between weight loss and consistency.

    It make take a little experimentation to get there.
