I just had a question for you all. Why does MFP say I'm allowed 2130 calories a day I'm rather large? I would have thought I'm supposed to have less calories a day I don get it.

    It might have to do with how much you stated you wanted to lose each week, and how active you said you were each week.

    the larger someone is the more calories they burn just moving their body around. I for instance burn more playing tennis than my boyfriend because i weigh more than him. they give you more calories because you will burn them off ;)

    Oh thank you for this explanation. I've been going hungry every night trying to get under my calorie intake because I felt it was set too high
