    What are your goals? Are you trying to lose, gain, or maintain?

    Does 2200 calories include your extra, earned exercise calories or not? Some people find that MFP has a tendency to overestimate the calories you burn through exercise, so it might be prudent to only eat 50-75% of them if you're adding them to your goal.

    Since you don't mention how the other site and your nutritionist figured your goals, it's tough to say whether any of them are right or wrong. You might double check that you have MFP set up accurately, but remember that all of these are just estimates. You may need some trial and error to find your sweet spot.
