How many calories does the website have alotted for you and how active are you?

I'm just wondering because I worry that mine may be too much, however I have an active job and I work out. I'm getting about 2500 calories I tend to come in about 200-300 below (sometimes over, we're all human). I have been losing about 1 lb a week, which I know is good but I'm just curious as to what it's like for the rest of you guys!

Thanks!
Tanya

    My calorie deficit is 650. I'm allowed 1,200 before exercise and I am sedentary. I typically eat 1600-1900 per day because I work out a lot.

    Not sure what it allows me. I eat around 1500 calories each day because that is what works for my weight loss. If I eat less then I don't lose.

    Weight also plays into this and what you set your weightloss goal to be.

    My goal is 1lb per week.
    I weigh 185lbs.
    MFP give me approx 1400 calories
    On days I work out I eat closer to 1800-2000 (which is most days)

    I also consistently come in under my goal. I am older than you, and not as active. My goal is 1200 before exercise, and I come in under that. If I go over, I don't loose any weight. I find I am satisfied...I just have to learn to stop at the right time. I also eat several times a day...just smaller amounts.
