    I would say see your doctor. I was doing 1,500 when I started and then went to the doc and was blasted for being too low. He put me up to 2,500 and I was losing more weight than eating less. I go to the doc once a month and not I am down to 1,900 cals a day. I like MFP but the cal recommendations are wrong..... See your doctor who specializes in nutrition.

    MFP's calculations aren't necessarily wrong. What usually happens is that a person chooses a weight loss goal that is too aggressive so MFP spits out a goal that is lower than it really should be for that person.
