I want to lose 1.5/wk. I'm at 150 and want to lose 25. Mfp says I need to eat 1280/day but my bmr is 1481. I thought I couldnt go below my bmr. ???
My daily maintainence level is 2123.
So should I listen to mfp and eat 1280 or eat at my maintainence level of 2123?
I workout 5/wk and burn around 500

So on the fat2fit thing you put in your daily activity as working out 5 days a week?
It calculates a 20% deficit I believe.0 -
Fat to fit gives you the calories to eat in order to get to the weight you want to be at a sensible rate. 1.5 per week with only 25 to lose is really a bit much. I would go by the fat2fit (you could probably go 200-300 lower if you really want to), slow and steady really does win the race0
