Really why so? My maintenance is around 2300 calories (apart from the exercise I do now and then I have a pretty much sedentary lifestyle). So at 1600 I'm at a 700 calorie deficit which is not THAT high. 500 seems to be typical however I'm going a bit more because honestly I don't always get the calorie count 100% accurate since I do usually eat out for lunch.
Anyways it works for me and I've been dropping average of 2lbs per week which is not a bad pace IMO. If i was dropping 3-4lbs per week I would also be concerned I am under eating.
