MFP calories or TF calories?

Which one are you following?
I have MFP set at 1500 because the 1200 they suggested was just too low for me and I would get light headed. If I follow TF, it has me at 1800-2000.
I have read a great number of opinions stating that with the calorie burn of the TF program, I should be at the higher number.

I go in between. On average I eat anywhere between 1400 to 1500 cals. I think tf said around the same thing for me but I know that 1800 to 2000 is pretty much maintenance for me. I have tried in the past and nothing happened. However I still eat when ever I feel hungry which is about five to six times a day and I am trying to eat more protein to help prevent lean muscle loss while working out. I say if you want to try to move up do it in 100 calorie increments and test is for a week or so. If you continue to lose at the higher calories bonus for you. As you lose that will go down sadly:(0
