I haven’t used livestrong, but I use the dailyplate and was completely dumbfounded when I calculated my daily caloric needs to lose 2 lbs a week based on my level of activity…it was close to yours, something between 2200 and 2300 which is ridiculous.
However, I only use the site to calculate what I’ve eaten that day…I already know that I need to stay between 1200 and 1600 to lose, so I definitely didn’t take their suggestion into consideration. I would suggest that most people select sedentary under activity level to be on the very safe side, if you’re actually going to use their suggestion as a guideline.
Wonder why it goes so high?
