I'm not sure how to figure out what should be my maintenance calories. I've been going with 1200. But I'm not sure if this is enough. I'm 5'6'' and weigh 124.
Thanks :)

    Enter your stats and goals (to maintain), into MFP and it should pop you out a number.

    ^This should be a good starting point.

    Had you been trying to lose before or have you been using the app strictly for maintenance? 1200 is low...even for some who are losing still.
