Adjusting Calories after 5 lbs.

Hello, I started using Fitness Pal on month ago. I am really loving it to count my calories. I have lost 6 lbs. so far. According to Fitness Pal I am allowed up to 1470 calories per day to lose 1 lb. per week. All is good but I have read somewhere on this website that after a person loses 5 lbs. the amount of calories allowed per day should be re-calculated.
So my question is ... How do I "reset" or recalculate that number using My Fitness Pal app?
Thanks for any help you can provide. I appreciate your time.
