does anybody feel like the calorie goal is too low

OP- I'm having trouble understanding your post- was your breakfast 1025 calories? Or is that what you have left? Because that's a huge breakfast. It's hard to say if 1240 is too low for you without knowing more details, but remember that if you're using the standard MFP setup you should be eating back at least some exercise calories. Most people can lose weight on more than 1200 calories, possibly even far more (I lost on 2000 and I'm a 5'4" female)

ETA: I second the suggestions above to double check your calorie intake via the TDEE threads. Even if you choose to keep using the MFP method, it could help you figure out whether your deficit is too steep.

The good news is that vege's are very low cal (so low I don't even record them half the time - 8 calories for a cup of vege's, why bother? lol) - however, cheese and most other dairy is pretty high calorie (especially butter). I actually have a hard time meeting my calorie count most days, unless I go out to eat somewhere. Most days MFP gripes at me and tells me I'm not eating enough. I have my goal set to 1000 calories per day and don't usually get over 900. I'm pretty sedentary tho also, outside of my trips to the gym and running up and down the stairs on my morning break - so I'm just not hungry a lot, and usually eat pretty small portions anyway.

Just be careful here- while veggies are low calorie, 8 cals a cup doesn't seem like a good generalization. For example, 100 grams of carrots is 45 calories, and comes out to no more than 2 cups of carrots, probably less (I weigh rather than use measuring cups). So it is possible to really underestimate your calories if you simply choose not to measure an entire food group on the assumption that they're all low calorie.

If I'm not recording it, its generally because I have in the past and it was almost nothing. I always record it if its the first time I've eaten it since starting to use MFP - because I'm curious how much it has. Like yesterday I had half a cup of spinach for part of my dinner - 8 calories. No I won't bother to record that one again. A couple weeks ago I had 2 pickle spears with a sandwich - the spears were also 8 calories - I've had more of the same pickles since, but as I'm not eating the whole jar, I don't bother recording them. I haven't had any carrots yet since I started using MFP a month ago - so I'd record that one if I did - tho technically, carrots are roots, not vege's :P

As a general rule for myself tho, if I already know its almost nothing for calories, I don't always record it - depends on how anal I feel like being that day. I doubt this accounts for more than another 50 calories a day for me, most likely much less.
