They may be right. I was 235 (at 6'1") and just started at 1000 below maintanence. I think they have more experience with clients who are heavier (while I have no client, other than myself).
Chris's explanation seemed to make a lot of sense. The more extra mass you have, the lower you can go in relation.
I'll certainly defer to Chris and Newman in this. As long as you have a plan for the long term, that should be good.
Sorry to confuse the issue.
