Daily Calorie Goals??????

it really varies by person...age, height, sex, goals, etc.
when i first started here i think i was eating about 1300... i didnt stick with it long and fell off the wagon. when i came bac, i was eating about 1400 plus my exercise calories (the way the site is intended to be used) and did a bit better but then i became more active in my life so changed up my settings and got set at 1520 + exercise calories.. i do have my goal set for 2 pounds a week loss, and last month i averaged a pound and a half a week. this month im changing it up a bit to eat at the calories i would need at my goal weight... so im eating more now and not including my exercise calories.
most plans will have you eat 2000 and then burn off a certain number by exercising.. MFP gives you a goal based on no exercise so that if you cant exercise, or something comes up and you miss a workout you still lose your goal weight per week. the catch is when you DO exercise you need to eat those calories too.
so youre set at 1350 - you eat that and then if you burn 650 calories you would actually end up eating 2000, and staying at 1350 NET to lose your goal-per-week
