    Wow my BMI calories are more than what MFP has given me!

    That happens when you tell it you want to lose one or two pounds per week and aren't really overweight enough to justify it. Try changing your goal and see what happens.

    MFP automatically adjusted my weight loss speed to .5 pounds per week so I think it does adjust your goal to a "justifiable" level.
