Hi everyone,

I'm about 8 pounds away from my goal but I'm wondering what TDEE calculation I should be using. I have been using TDEE -20%, which is about 1675 for me, but I've found the past week that I'm still hungry. Should I go to TDEE -15% or just keep doing what I'm doing? While I am hungry it would be strange to actually bump up in calories.

    You're 8 lbs from goal. That close I've always heard that one should be moving toward maintenance levels. Maybe try moving to TDEE-15% for a couple weeks then to -10% and -5% till you get ready to maintain?
