BMR and Daily Calories

I just used the BMR calculator and it put my daily calories somewhere around 1800/day. But, MFP only allows me somewhere around 1350/day. I always eat back my calories burned after exercise, but am I eating enough? I'm losing weight and I'm not feeling to hungry. Just want to make sure I'm not doing any damage.

MFP calculates your daily calories based on your goals. If your goal is lose weight, it will set your caloric allowance lower than your BMR, which will create a calorie deficit, which will lead to weight loss. Keep eating your exercise calories, and as long as you're not hungry, you should be in good shape.0

If you are not hungry and you are losing weight at a safe clip - i.e. .5-1lb a week no exercise, or 2-4lb (4 being a lot of exercise that week) you should be ok with your Calorie intake.
I'm not a doctor or trainer, but this is what I have learned from my personal trainer.
Keep up the good work!0
