BMR and calories allowed?

I am really confused now.
I have been in kind of a plateau since before Christmas and wanted to fiddle with my settings. I used the BMR calculator in the tools menu and it tells me that my BMR is a little over 1400.
When I set my weight loss to one pound per week, it tells me to eat a little over 1400 calories a day.
Am I missing something critical here?
