    Your body-weight multiplied by 15.

    Eat that number of calories for 4-6 weeks and review your progress. If you gain slightly, knock it back 100cals. If you lose, up it 100 cals and repeat.

    Set your goal in MFP from weight loss to maintain your weight, and then eat all your calories. Some find it helpful to up their calories by 100/day every week instead of jumping straight up to maintenance calories. Keep track of your long term weight trends and make adjustments up/down as necessary. I found I had to up my calorie goal to 2200 a day because I lost very slowly at the MFP suggestion of 2150/day.
