How are the daily calories determined by this app? Is the daily goal based on your personal info (age, weight, height) and are the calories provided intended to promote weight loss or weight maintenance?

I think it is worked out on your weight and your level of daily activity in general. You can choose how much weight you want to lose, 1.5 or 2lb a week and the calories allocated will aid weight loss0

If you enter a weight loss goal (ie: 1 lb/week), MFP will give you a daily goal that will meet that wish. Your daily calorie allotment is aimed for your age, height, weight and weight loss goal combined.0
