    That's equal to just over two pounds I think, which is the highest you can go. I'm guessing it has to do with safely losing weight.

    I'm trying for 1/2-1 pound a week. It's hard for me to lose more than 1/2 lb, which MFP says will happen at only 1200 net calories a day.

    One kg is 2.2 lbs. 4.4 lbs would require too much deficit. You'd lose muscle if you lost that fast.
