I don’t understand how I am suppose to loose 1 pound a week by keeping my Food vs. Activity Net Calories no less than 1200c. My maintenance is only 1400c, then I can only have a deficit of 200c a day? That doesn’t make sense to me. If anyone knows the answer to this and would like to explain I am open ears!
