I don't. I am usually more in the 25% - 30% range.

That is most likely salt/water weight. Restaurant foods have huge amounts of sodium. Give it time.

Yes, your caloric requirements do go down after you've lost 20 lbs.; there is not as much mass to move, so it takes less energy, and calories are energy. If you are updating your weight in FitDay, it should reflect a lower calories burned number now than it did 20 lbs. ago. One way to counterbalance this a bit is to include weight training...muscle burns more calories pound for pound than non-muscle tissue.
