I'm also in the same boat, trying for a 1,000 Cal deficit. I, personally, find it easier to do that than 300 cal. I can eat low calorie density foods and be satisfied at ~1,400 Cal a day, but at 2,000 a day it's too easy to slip to 2,400... I've been able to sustain that for 6 months at a time. Remember, 1-2 lbs a week is generally what is recommended for weight loss, that works out to 3,500-7,000 Cal a week, or 500-1,000 a day.
