    You will lose weight eating less than the 1420 recommended by the app, but there is no need to eat less than that really, the calorie goal already includes a deficit for you to lose weight so you should be aiming to hit that amount.

    The calorie goal is calculated as your

    Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (Calories Burned) from normal daily activity

    minus

    Deficit (Calculated from the rate of loss you have chosen - 250 calories per 0.5lb per week)

    plus
