MFP calorie calculator and BMR

Hi, MFP has calculated my calories at 1330 per day (for a loss of 2 pounds per week) but I notice when I eat 1330 calories per day I either maintain or gain. Does their calculator take BMR into consideration?

I used a BMR calculator and when adding my activity as moderate my calories are 2595.

I adjusted my calories in MFP to 1600 and I use 325 as my calories burned when walking (3.5 mph 45 minutes a day). So, I'm aiming for 1925 calories.

On a side note I really wish I could figure out how many calories I am actually burning when walking! I tried to use a heart rate monitor but it was too confusing for me to figure out how to set up! If you have experience with one that is easy to use and calculates calories burned I'd love to hear about it :)
