My maintenance for my goal weight is about 1900 cal, currently I eat 1700-2000. Yes it's been working amazingly well. I've gone from a 3month plateau to losing steadily again.

It really has made things very simple.0 -
It's definitely a better idea than eating for your starting weight, that's for sure!0

Fat to Fit is saying I can eat 2500 cals.
MFP says around 1400 before I log my exercise.
Now I'm really confused....................0 -
It is a great idea, and I even have a group for Eating For Future You, that many are still following.
in developing it before I heard about fat2fit, I discovered the difficulty of truly doing so.
Here's the problem with fat2fit method.
They ask or allow using your bodyfat%, and have calculator to assist getting it.
Why?
To increase accuracy.
So on the results page, there is your BMR based on bodyfat%, Katch-McArdle formula.
They also show you what the oldest and least accurate BMR calc is, Harris.
Now, guess which one is used to create you activity level daily goal figures?
Harris.
Go check it out. Sedentary is BMR x 1.2, Moderately Active is 1.55. Confirm which one they used.
Now see what that table would be if the best estimate BMR Katch was used, even for your current weight at that.
Higher or lower?
Most will find their Katch BMR makes a table that is lower, even at current weight.
And why can't you use the Katch BMR for your goal weight?
How much lean body mass do you plan on loosing? Because that is all that BMR is based on, LBM.
Since the goal of eating that way is to keep your LBM, you would have the same, the BMR would be the same, at goal weight as now.
It's a great idea that breaks down when you use more accurate stats.
Which just means the goal table is inflated more than it needs to be.
Better would be just setting MFP to goal weight, and weight loss to maintain, log and eat back exercise calories.0 -

i've been doing this the entire time because i dont want to get tripped up on maintenance like so many other people. i'm totally cool with it taking me 12-18 months to reach my weight goal because i don't have the personality to deal with any type of deprivation for longer than a day ok half a day. the difference between my current weight's maintenance and my goal weight maintenance is only 300 calories so my weight loss is slowFat2Fit says I should be eating 2633 cals a day!
