You mentioned you are a chef by trade. How often do you taste what you are cooking? Those calories can add up amazingly fast!

he no longer chefs. He has been doing construction work.

Not construction I am the man you go to when you crash your car or when you buy an old rusted vintage car and want it restored

No I am 5.11 mfp gives me 2100 to work with so I eat at a deficit to that to lose weight I still have about 30 lbs to lose to be at a healthy weight for my height

https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/410332-how-does-myfitnesspal-calculate-my-initial-goals-

MFP, this poster is a prime example of why this information needs to be front and center both when people sign up and each time they go back to update their diet & fitness profile, as well as guidance on how to choose the proper weekly weight loss goal.

From the number of users I see with this same misunderstanding, you are probably correct. But I have trouble understanding the confusion. It's (to me) perfectly clear that the deficit is built in, and was from the very first time I filled in my profile. Short of a flashing red banner, I'm not sure what they'd do.

It was clear to me too. But it seems silly that a new one would have to go hunt for such basic info.

Flashing red banner sounds good

I wish they'd do the flashing red banner for recommended rate of loss based on user stats. That's my personal MFP pet peeve

Yes!

Way back when I was logging 3-4lb lost a week I would get messages asking how as they want to lose that too....... Umm I was 400lb and those asking were mainly under 150lb

I can not physically eat over 2000 calories a day I don't even understand how someone can eat that much without living on pizza and icecream

How did you get to the point of needing to lose weight if you can't eat that much food? I guy with your stats would burn close to 2000 calories a day in a coma, much less walking around.

It's super easy to eat more than 2000 calories a day. Have some nuts. A peanut butter sandwich. Cheese.
