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?0 -
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👍🏼1

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

Ive been using the app for 2weeks now. I will try to follow it through.0
