On MFP, the daily calorie intake seems pretty high. I am just starting out here, and I'm not sure if this is right. Mine is 2120 a day. To me that seems like a lot. Any comments?

    Depends. Male/ female? Height? Current weight? Lifestyle?

    hard to tell... we know nothing about you (profile private).
  • You may have misjudged your activity level. It is easy to overestimate how active we are. Not many jobs actually qualify at aerobic activity. Really try to guage your lifestyle correctly or else MFP will allow you too many calories.
