Is my calorie goal right?

MFP set my calorie goal at 1,280 before exercise, just 80 calories over the bare minimum that anyone should have per day. I keep hearing in different places that in order to find out how many calories you should have while trying to lose weight, you should multiply your body weight by 10. In that case, I should be having about 1,550 calories a day. That's a pretty big difference. Which one is right?

    Try it your way for a while and see what results you see. I change my cal goal sometimes when I am not seeing results. Good luck!!
