[quote=Anonymous]Do not follow the calorie recommendations in MFP. It always goes for the lowest of lows. A better range is to use goal weight X 10-12. However, if you have a lot of weight to lose you should pick a closer goal weight at first and adjust down if you notice you are no longer losing weight. And I mean you have not seen the scale trend down over the course of a month not a few days or a week. So lets pick and intermediate goal of 190 lbs. Which mean you should eat 1900-2280. This is a more sustainable approach. Only adjust calories down if you have been eating in this range consistently (90% of the time or 26 out of 31 days in a month, track with a calendar where you mark off the days you eat in your target range). To see if it is working weigh yourself every morning and TRACK THE TREND. Scale will fluctuate from day to day buy you need to trust the process and what matters is that the trend line is going down. Good luck you can do this![/quote]
