QUESTION?

Does 1630 sound right for losing a pound a week? i weigh 185 and i am 5'4.......WHen i had it set for 2 pounds a wk it gave me 1200 cals...Seems like alot compared to that? Opinions please?

I think it's something like 500 less cals per day will equal about a pound a week, and mfp won't tell you to go below 1200 cause you need that minimum so it's prolly right

Its a 500 calorie deficit per day per pound you want to lose... so that sounds about right to me.

I am currently eating at 1470 for .5 pound per week loss... and I weight 142.

I'm 5'4" and started at 198 lbs. I started at 1680 calories for a 1lb a week loss so that sounds about right to me.
