BMR

I'm confused. I've been on the site for almost a week now, so obviously I've entered in my goals, etc., etc. But now I'm seeing stuff about BMR. Is it necessary that I calculate my personal BMR before MFP can determine how many calories I should be getting to lose???

No, it calculates it for you.

Thank you. That cleared it up for me. I was just confused when I saw a button that said "calculate your BMR". MFP sure does make that whole things confusing!
