    Never eat below your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). Eat below your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) to lose weight.

    Is you "BMR" 1492, or is your GOAL that MFP gave you when you put in your info 1492? There is a HUGE difference.

    NEVER eat less than your BMR. (Use BMR calculator under "tools" to check it)

    Your MFP goal calories is your TDEE (BMR plus activity level), minus your deficit.
