Your starting calories aren't super important. Every calculator or equation is just going to give you an estimate anyways. Just pick a reasonable calorie goal, anything really. Eat that many calories consistently for a few weeks. If you lose weight at the speed you want, don't change anything. If you lose weight slower then you want, reduce your calorie goal a little bit and give it a few more weeks. Eventually you will figure out exactly how much you need to be eating.

Yes it did tell me how many calories I need in order to loose weight. It seems too many calories.I will do just that. I will do the calories they advised me on for a few weeks and then adjust from there. Good advice thanks.

An excellent plan.

When you exercise and it gives you extra calories for that, cut that extra calories number in half and eat back that many more.

Good luck!!
