Loosing weight at too fast of a rate
So today I weighed in for my weekly check and was surprised to see that I somehow dropped 4lbs within that week. Can this be water? I have been on a diet for about 4 months so far and it has been within the 1-2lb/week range. What struck this random change?

1600 bmr; 1700 calorie diet??
So I was wondering how does myfitnesspal calculate their recommendations. My bmr is around 1600 cal and it gave me a 1700 cal recommendation. I know you're not suppose to eat under your bmr- and I avoid doing so, but can someone inform me as to how it calculates it? 5'7" female. Thank you! :smile:
