Mfp says 1890 is my goal for everyday. Is that a maintenance level or is that the amount i should be aiming for? Just a little confused

    If you entered your goals than it will have your deficit built into it.

    Did you enter your goal as maintenance or to lose?

    Eat to 1890 and if MFP adds exercise eat those back too. The calories burns are sometimes overstated, so eat 50 to 75% of those back. Adjust if you are not losing or are losing too fast.
