Where can I find out what my maintenance calories will be when I reach my goal weight?

    I like wolfram alpha bmr bmi

    You can use the bmi calculater to calculate what weight you want to get too andput that weight into the bmr calculater.

    It also shows you averages for the US.

    don't know exactly, but you can get close based on what you set your weekly loss to be. Each pound is roughly 3500 calories. So if you set MFP to lose 1 pound a week, your deficit is set at approximately 3500 calories. Divided by 7days, that's 500 calories a day. So once you reach your goal weight, you'll have 500 more calories per day to maintain your current weight (on top of your current allowance, that is).
