TDEE -20% help

cwolfman13

The TDEE method is great. As others have stated...you have to remember that the 1,200 goal MFP sets is a.) usually more than 1 Lb per week and 2.) doesn't take into account any exercise. You should really only be at 1,200 calories if you're doing no exercise at all or are willing and able to log exercise calories and eat those back. For most people, using the TDEE - 20% method yields about 1 Lb per week (or thereabouts) loss on average which is simply safer and healthier weight loss, though it does take longer. In the meantime, however, you get to not be miserable, which is WINNING in my book.
