    Planning a deficit isn't really related to how much you want to lose, it's related to how fast you want to lose it. "Really fast" is usually a Bad Plan.

    If you only have 10kg to lose in total, 0.25 to an absolute max of 0.5kg per week would be a good plan. Put your personal data into your MFP profile, tell it that rate of loss, and it will tell you how many calories to eat.

    Treat that as a starting estimate. Follow it closely for 4-6 weeks (whole menstrual cycles if you have those), then adjust your calorie goal if needed to hit your target loss rate.

    Best wishes!
