Hi MFP community! Any people with stats similar to mine...could you please tell me how much you eat in a day? And also how much you lose on an average?

I started off at a MFP-set number of 1430. Saw the famous Road Map topic and realized I was eating too little, so I bumped up to 1530. My BMR is supposed to be 1700-ish. I have been at this actively for about 3 months and I have lost 12 pounds.

    At 5'7" and 219 I think it set me at around 1600 to lose 2lbs per week.

    there is no "one size fits all" in here. What works for me, might not work for you. With that said, i'm 5'4 and currently 167 lbs. I've set my cals to lose a 1/2 pound a week....i net 1560 calories and this has worked so far. Slow and steady wins the race.
