CHANGING CALORIES

Hello Everyone,
Is there anyway to manually change your calories? I usually lose weight when I consume 1,400 to 1,450 calories a day but when I put in my weight I either get 1,580 to lose 1.5 pounds a week or 1,300 to lose 2 pounds a week. 1,300 seems a little low to me.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Mary Ann
