    Im limited to 1200 per day and am having no trouble with it. I did recently finish the HCG 500 cal diet, so as you can imagine, this seems like alot to me. It is now the norm.
    I think if you are feeling deprived, or that you are hungry then I would listen to your body. (not as far as the bad food cravings) but fill yourself up with good foods as has been mentioned earlier.

    I'd say it depends on your BMR, figure out what that is and stay above that and below TDEE, you should do just fine.

    Good luck :0)

    I also started out at 1450 and then agreed to let MFP adjust my settings after I lost 10 pounds where I went down to 1370! I was not happy about that (I like to eat)! So when it asked me again after the next 10 pounds I said no! I figured I was still losing so why lessen my calories again! I continued to lose and when I got down to the last 5 pounds or so I changed my setting to .5 pounds lost a week so I got to eat more and still lose!
