Who I Follow

but I went to adjust my daily caloric intake goal (DCIG) on Daily Plate to lose 2lbs/week and it gave me a way low number (lower 900s). So then I tried to go back to my original goal (1,476/day) and I cannot for the life of me figure out how I got that number. 

Crazy. 

Instead, I’m using the BMI Calculator Plus: Personalized Weight Loss Plan  off WebMD. It’s giving me a much more reasonable DCIG of 1200. I also know it’s not smart to go under 1200, so I may adjust it to 1200-1300 a day.
