Mine is set to maintain and that gives me about 1490. I notices that the plan I am following-the Jamie Eason Livefit Trainer, it has rough dietary guidelines and usually comes out pretty low in cals for a ton of food, you might want to look at the plan:

1200 can be hard, I think people should just set their cals to maintenance at the their goal weight. You might lose slower, but it's a diet, it's just the way you have to eat/exercise forever. Does that make sense?0 -
My meals
Fruit and Fage greek yogurt for breakfast/snack
For lunch I usually have some version of a salad with ground turkey and marinara or taco seasoning, or maybe chicken breast and buffalo chicken sauce
I usually include some baby carrots and maybe a fruit cup as well as a jiff peanut butter to go for dessert
For dinner I have chicken curry sans rice, spaghetti using spaghetti squash, buffalo chicken sandwiches, low calorie chili, chicken veggie soup, etc.0 -
I just started today and am using the calculator tool so far it is going great. I love how I can keep up with what I have eaten and how much I have left for the day. It has helped me decide to eat dinner or drink a protein shake.

breakfast: coffee w/half n half, 3 eggwhites on a ww sandwich thin
snack: protein shake after the gym (GNC vanilla whey mixed with sugar-free orange drink mix)
snack: orange
lunch: homemade chicken vegetable barley soup (barley has less calories than rice or pasta or other grains and I find it very filling)
snack: small baked potato with nonfat greek yogurt
dinner: boca burger, broccoli, baked sweet potato, glass of wine (I had to "earn" this, by meeting today's exercise goal!)
snack: natural peanut butter on a slice of ww toast, herbal tea0 -

I typically eat between 800-1200, I am trying to eat closer to 1200 now because i stopped losing weight (for the past two weeks) when i was typically losing around .5 pounds a week. I never truly believed that you have to eat more to lose more, until I hit my plateau. Anyway, you can take a look at my diary and see what i typically eat, it doesn't vary much because i LOVE what i make so much that i can't wait to eat it everyday, but i try new recipes pretty often!0
