I'm new here and the system has me at 1250 calories per day. I am 231 lbs. Does that seem too low? Also, it's saying that I went over my protein for the day one day last week which seems strange to me bc to me, I didn't have a lot. I had 97 grams and the system says that I am to have 63. I have read several places that you need 1 gram per LB of body weight so 63 seems quite low. But I'm not a nutritionist so what do I know :-)

    If you're using MFP numbers think of protein and fiber as a minimum rather than a maximum. 1250 would be too low for me! Do you have it set at 2lbs a week loss? Maybe be more conservative at 1lb.
