Should I adjust the calories on MFP? Mine are like 1684 but I see others about 200 - 300 calories less. Any suggestions, ideas???

Thanks!

    Your calories are based on your height/weight/gender/age. Some people are higher or lower than you based on their current activity level and how much they have to loose. I started out at 1600 calories and am now down to 1530 as you loose the amount you need to consumer does go lower. I would say remain where you are at.

    Don't compare yourself to others. They more than likely are a different height, weight, activity level, age, etc. Do what MFP tell you to until it doesn't work, then readjust.
