There must be something wrong with the calorie calculator..............or me, of course! The "goal" of 2770 calories seems very high to me. I'm just putting on belly fat as well as muscle and increasing strength. I suppose I will have had to drop this figure. But what's wrong?

    Are you male? What's your current weight and height?

    If you are significantly overweight and/or very active (like 150 or more over weight) the calculations can get a bit skewed.

    With that said, 2770 may be where you need to be. We'd need more info.

    More info needed, as stated above. Did you put in to lose or gain weight? What is your current weight? What is your goal weight? Are you male? How old? How tall?

    I am a 43 year old female, 5'9, 180 lbs and can lose on 2000 calories per day.

    I second this. Details are what matter. I'm 5'10" 270lb and my daily goal is 2200 at a 1000 per day deficit.
