The figure of 1230 is the figure that MFP said I should consume to lose the recommended 1lb per week. Congrats on your loss!!

1730 to maintain.

My BMR is 1382 and to maintain my current weight I need to consume 1730 according to MFP. I wasn't counting cals before so I would guess that I was having around 2000 or possibly more a day.

I have exactly the same issue, I am exercising 4 times a week (each time burning about 450 to 650 calories). I kep track of everything that I eat or drink and my allowance is 1230 cals a day. On the days that I exercise I have cals left over as I don't manage to eat up the exercise cals, on the days that I don't exercise…
