    1200 is the eating goal for what you told it you want to do, if you want a higher calorie target / lower weight loss rate then you dial in a low weight loss rate than the standard 1 lb/week.

    Alternatively you can go to Goals and use Custom Goals rather than Guided and just put the number in yourself.
