Hi, I have managed to use a online calulator to work out my metabolic rate as 2212 ....that would be the bog standard body fuction amount, but I have no idea how to work out what my calorie intake should be and what calories I should need to burn each day.....
Ive never been great with maths and the figures are making my poor brain hurt so any help would be appriciated ... ie: if you know how to get the numbers i need please do![:pensive: :pensive:](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/pensive.png)
Lifestyle is currently disabled and not able to exercise a great deal, some days even getting out of bed is too much to bear as my condition causes me a great deal of pain.
MFP set me at 1800 calories per day but for the last 5 weeks I have lost 1kg the first 2 weeks and then stayed exactly the same for the last 3, so looking to shake things up![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Thanks in advance
