Changing/Personalizing MFP calorie recommendations to TDEE

Hello :)
I was wondering if there was a way to set your own goals on the MFP diary. Like right now, I have all of my info put in like my current weight/height, goal weight, activity level, and how much I want to lose per week and it automatically calculates how many calories I need to eat per day to achieve this.

However, I've calculated my BMR/TDEE and regardless of what I put into MFP I can't get it to recommend the number that my TDEE is (Right now it's pretty close, about a 100 calorie difference between the two) but I was wondering if there is a setting where I can just manually put in how many calories I want to eat a day?

If not it's no big deal, I can just remember that MFP is telling me a few calories off, I'm just looking for a easy solution where I can think less :P

Thank you!
