Changing calorie intake number?

I put in all of my information and it asked for how many pounds I want to lose per week so, I chose 2. MFP gave me 1500 calories a day to eat but, I feel like that's too much for me. I swear that I once saw a place to enter in your own calorie intake to follow but, I am not able to find that again. Can anyone let me know how to find that? I just want to drop down to 1350 calories!

    My Home -> Goals -> Change Goals -> Custom

    Then you can manually change it.

    im sorry but if MFP gave you 1500calories (which is already low) and your changing it even LOWER! you are setting yourself up for low muscle mass and a high body fat percentage. you need to eat more calories and do strength training to improve your body composition.
