Confusion on caloric needs?

need help did not understand above threads

Use the 2nd link only. First is too intense. Follow 2nd link above and do what it says. It's very easy, it just appears complicated because Dan tries to explain the meaning of it. But, you just take a few measurement, enter that info into the site he references, and that site tells you how many calories to consume everyday. It's really super simple.

I used http://www.acaloriecounter.com/diet/

Found it very helpfull, just walk through the steps one by one... It will give you a higher calorie goal per day than MFP though... Just go by what you feel best with...
