Thanks for your two posts...very helpful and I think doubling down on recording is worth a shot.

I don't log walking or anything like that - just let garmin+MFP take care of the step calibrations between them. On non exercise days usually 5000-10000 steps depending. For HR I always use a heart strap so that should be quite accurate...or am I wrong? Ill have a look at the calc

Looking at the MFP for the past 90 days looks like usually around 1700-2000 calories per day. Sometimes less sometimes a bit more but usually that range.
-
What the others said - but BMR + avg day for me brings it to about 2400 according to MFP. Then add to that exercise 4 times a week that can shoot it up another 500-1000 depending on the day.. So 1500-2000 deficit is theoretically possible for me on exercise days
-
Yes I hear what your saying...going on my first 5 months when I was at a (theoretical mfp/garmin) deficit of 1000 calories per day or say 6000 per week give or take I lost 1-2kg per month. That means very roughly that my actual deficit was more like 10000 calories a month and say 2500 a week or 300-400 a day. So it could…

Thanks for this thought. Some answers here suggested further cutting calories so that would take me to 1500 a day or more. Why do you think it isn't a good idea here? Do you thoughts about likely cause for my issue here?
-
Thanks. The day I don't log isn't a day off just unrecorded. But maybe that is the culprit. Do you think garmin connect with a chest strap is inaccurate? That may be. Also does anyone have ideas about level of inaccuracy of mfp? How to get around it?
-
Thanks. By BMR I mean the base calories which mfp has to which are added about 600 calories usually throughout day excluding exercise. I will try finding ways to stay on a plan on that day...but some thoughts - I still moderate my eating then, and it certainly can't be a calorie overshoot of 5000 calories...but I will do…

Thanks for this. I've made it public. Height 171cm, weight 99kg (started at 109), using garmin connect and fr45 and h10hrm for tracking exercise. I do mainly desk work with some teaching although it's a standing desk. I set my mfp to maintain weight and then strive for the minus calories. I run/cycle about 3 times a week…

Thanks for this. I weigh most condiments and sometimes eyeball it. Counting softdrinks. Here and there I eyeball some things I have experience with...again my deficit is around -1000 so my eyeballing wouldn't be that wrong...
