So I used the scooby TDEE calculator and this is what I get. Do these numbers look good to go off of?
-
So I should be basing my intake deficit on TDEE? Or the basal metabolic rate? I feel like I might be losing muscle too even though I keep my protein up. I have drop 4lbs in two weeks - surely this isn't just fat?

I used a calculator and set my goal to 1lb/week and it gave a TDEE of 2,486/day. I manually entered this value into MFP and am now doing weekly calorie averages over daily ones.
-
And my MFP daily goal is 2,700 calories?! Why?

Got a tape and calipers in the mail today. Measured at 22mm or 20% BF. Tape was at 36. Am currently 6'1" at 206lbs and trying to reach 190lbs. With these values how should I approach the last 16lbs?

So what can I do to keep my water intake up but not retain the weight?

Mostly food does it. There's no alcohol in my diet so that's not my issue. I typically am up late Friday and sleep in on Saturday so my first meal is anywhere from 11-1. I'll have to just work on upoing my expenditure during the weekend and slowly cut back.

Currently at 6'1", 206lbs trying to get to 190. I was down to 203 and the last two weekends have been full of travel and stress. What's a TDEE? And MFP has me at 1.5lbs/week. I was losing 3 though for the first two weeks and I plateaued at 203. Hopefully when my food scale arrives today I'll be on a better track.

1). Forget the lapse from this weekend and move forward. 2). Start with a bigger deficit to start the recover from the weekend. 3). Track EVERYTHING I eat today in MFP

So I'm seeing a lot of people going with weekly deficits over daily ones. Is this something that seems to really work for the weight loss? What about its netabolic affect - does it slow it down over the weekend? Right now, based on MFP's daily estimate for me, I am about 3-400 calories under for a daily deficit. Should I…

Extreme protein intake above what your body needs can lead to proteinuria - too much protein in your urine - which can become painful. Consume it in excess long enough and it will build up in the glomeruli of your kidneys leading to kidney stones. It's not a guarantee for everyone who over-consumes protein, but there are…

6' 1". The current BF% is a guestimate. I don't have calipers yet. I feel like it's lower than that by another 2-3% but playing it conservative.

Oh for sure organic doesn't mean anything special to weight loss. Was just mentioning that I'm on a cleaner diet. Any suggestions on how to get enough protein but maintain a good deficit? Noticing that many protein shakes and supplements are super calorie dense.
