Does this make sense ?

After updating my Goals it says:

Your projected weight loss is 1 kg/week
You should lose 2.3 kg by September 20

That doesn't add up does it, it's over 5 weeks away ?

    Did it give you 1500 calories? If so, that's the lowest MFP will go for men and your goal is too aggressive. If you don't have much to lose, .25-.5 kg per week will probably be better.

    It actually gave me 1300 calories and I'm male...odd. Thanks for the tip I might change it back to less weight per week.

    The bit that didn't make sense to me is that it projected 1 kg/week but then said I would lose only 2.3kg by Sep 20.

    It seems like it might be a bug because it would be right if it was incorrectly multiplying 1 pound (rather than 1kg) x 5.3 weeks and then converting it to kg.
