Do you think this is a mistake and I should just continue to eat a little over what MFP asks for?
I have fluctuated a little bit. I was down 5 pounds since the 2nd of January but then gained 3-4 pounds out of nowhere.
Eating at the wrong time can be part of it. Eating close to bedtime is an example.
Calorie intake should closely mirror activity levels during the day with the most calories consumed during the active parts of the day.
This is one of my problems, eating at night. I'm a night person.
Anyway, today I hit the 15 lb lost milestone. I've decided to go for the full 25 lb and then I can say that I've lost one eighth of my body.
