    I went and did a few calculators like "iifym" and picked kind of the middle number.

    Well, if you set MFP up properly than that number + 50% of exercise calories * should be an appropriate number of calories for whatever your trying to do. If your average after a month or so doesn't line up with your goals, then you adjust up or down as needed.
