    There is no 'default'. There is only a calorie target based on the information you've provided and more often than not a 1200 calorie target means that you've chosen a far too aggressive weekly weight loss target than is prudent so first thing to do is pick a sensible/appropriate weekly target and go from there.

    Also keep in mind that the target you're given doesn't include 'activities' that you might do. Any exercise or activity above and beyond what you've indicated as normal to MFP will give you extra calories to consume.

    Are you using the website or an app? If an app, which one? (the instructions on where to go and what to do to change it will vary)

    Go to edit goals, and the nutrition, you can change it there.
