is 1500-2000 daily calorie a good amount? for me; 30-40 lbs. overweight. Also I weight train 3-5x a week. Im loosing weight real quick the first week, currently going on 2 weeks. Sometimes 1200Calories have me full for the day! And im getting tired of force feeding. I need advice, Thanks for any input!

    How much did MFP give you based on your height, weight, and activity level?

    I'd try 2500 and see where I was a month later.

    What is the amount given to you for a pound a week? That is what you should be aiming for...1500 is the lowest you should go, and even that is too low for most men.
