calorie intake

If you go to your profile, then to change goals, select your weekly weightloss goal (i would try for 1lb a week) and activity level, mfp will calculate your estimated calorie intake goals. Try the recommended for a few weeks before adjusting anything else, because your body will need time to adapt. I highly recommend weighing and measuring every morsel and logging it. It can be suprising to see just how off an eyeball estimate is.
