I am trying to drop some weight after being out of it for about 18 months due to a partial achilles tear and shoulder injuries. I am 5'8" and MyFitnessPal puts my needs at 2440 for maintenance at my current weight of 188lb. 1940 should net me a pound a week. I want to get back to 165 where I was before.

I base my numbers off of calorieking.com

Note that the reason for such high caloric consumption was because his activity level was high. I was actually off by 100 calories.

I just entered his numbers in and for maintanance it was 2650-2850.
