I feel like a 2300 deficit calculated for me by MyfitnessPal is too high, its like my regular eating habit, i feel like if i eat 1800 i feel my body transforming and loosing some of the 30%body fat i need to shed. I thought a caloric deficit will be harder than this

    do you mean a calorie goal of 2300? the largest deficit that MFP will create is 1000, to lose 2lb per week?

    i do right before i take my first bite, i guess i am meant to be leaner. I do exercise and feel like i want to demand more out of my body. Thanks👍🏼

    yeahh, a calorie goal of 2300. but ive been eating comfortably below that most days because i feel if i eat anymore, that i will be over eating.

    so why use MFP if you're not actually taking any notice of it?

    what are your stats?
