Have I done something wrong?

I have signed up for this site today and would be grateful if anyone could tell me why on putting in my weight and goal info I got an allowance of a whopping 4000 calories a day! And 160g of fat! Surely that can't be right I put my current weight 110kg (17 stone ish) and goal of 70kg (11 stone ish) many thanks in advance

    Check your daily activity level - maybe you put the equivalent of running a marathon everyday ;) Mine is sedentary as I sit at a desk ALL day!

    Did you make sure to select that you want to LOSE 1-2 lbs a day or did you do like I have done before and set it to GAIN 1-2 lbs a week? I have quickly checked the box and not realized that I set it to gain instead of lose, well, until I saw how much it gave me!
