This is not my first time on MFP. The last time I tried it my calorie goal was a little over 1700. This time it is 2020. Why is it higher?

    Do you weight more this time?
    Did you select a different activity level?
    Did you choose the same weight loss per week goal?

    Everything is the same except I am 11 pounds less this time. That's why I don't understand it.

    I might be wrong and may have changed the activity level but I don't know why I would have. My job keeps me on my feet and moving most of the day.

    I'm not sure then. Less weight would usually be less calories.
