    Ok... looks like I'll have to go with 1200 on regular days because 500 less than my BMR is less than 1200. And so then I spike 1 or 2 days at around 2025 - 2600 (that's 1.5 to 2 x my BMR). Used Harris Benedict to calculate BMR, not MFP, btw.

    Does 1200 and 2025 sound ok?? And do I spike 1 or 2 days? I know gp79 does two days from what I can tell. Also, it's REST day on those two days, right? And weight lifting on the day after? I do Starting Strength M, W, and F. And interval run/walk on days in between... so I guess this will work.

    Are spike days useful regardless of the amount of weight you have to lose?

    My regular allowance is 1550/day, but on spike day (Sunday) I eat about double that (3100-3400), and lost 3 lbs since my last weigh-in the day after.

    No idea how, but I definitely see it.
