Posting to say thanks for doing the research and presenting it in such a clear and thoughtful way (and to get it on my topics list for future reference). Best discussion of this issue that I've seen to date.

These numbers actually match perfectly if you are trying to lose 1 lb per week. TDEE is your total expenditure, or what you should should eat to maintain weight at the activity level you used in the calculator. To lose weight you would have to eat less.

I'm fairly new here (been on mfp for about a month) so I don't have the experience many previous posters bring to this discussion, but here's my thinking: In the past I've worked on the "bigger deficit = faster weight loss" assumption and while I did lose weight, it wasn't fast and it didn't teach me good habits.
