And so I have moved on to phase2

[DominicJ]

I've cut my target from 2 lbs per week to 1.5lbs

I'm 172 with a goal weight of 140 and this will get me there by November still.
If I overshoot I overshoot but I've been noticing muscle fatigue is lasting longer and hitting new areas, my intercostal muscles are currently complaining, so best up the food a little 😀

Mfp gives me no more calories
I hate you mfp, I've already eaten 1400 today!!!

Your fatigue is due to you high fat/cholesterol and high protein diet.

You need to change to high complex carbohydrates (grains, vegetables, tubers, fruit)

and a little bit of meat per day (no bigger than the size of the palm of your hand).

Could also be due to training and only eating 1400 calories couldn't it? Lack of food for recovery?

I don't know about @DominicJ but I can easily get a TDEE of around 4200 calories a day, when my deficit is too low my recovery takes longer and I feel lethargic.

You mean for today - or in general.

Only time the eating goal doesn't go up, is if your non-exercise TDEE on there is low enough that when you apply the deficit, it would end up below their cutoff.

So like if a woman had a non-exercise estimated daily burn of 1950, and selected a 1000 cal deficit - then MFP would stop at 1200, even though that's only 750.

When she then changed the loss goal to 750 cal deficit - there would be no change, still 1200.

Did that happen to you and the cut off of what used to be 1500 for men?

Never really had the 1000 cal deficit?

Did Fitbit sync over today, allowing MFP to increase eating goal?

Perhaps it's a syncing issue.
