TDEE-20% takes me below BMR..
Is this right?? Calculations from fitness frog website. My TDEE is 2220. My BMR is 1850. If I go -20% it gives me 1776. If I go -25% it gives me 1665 (I changed my goal to this last night) I thought you weren't meant to eat below your BMR. I'm 27 / F / 237lbs looking to lose at least 42lbs.

Do you eat the calories recommended by MFP?
Do you stick to the calorie intake recommended by MFP? I'm not entirely sure if I should be sedentary or lightly active (I have a desk job, but walk the dog 30-45mins a day and attend boxercise once a week). Last week I had it set as lightly active (with the aim of losing 1.5lbs a week), which gave me 1650 calories. I…
