Diet Diary App - BMR

Do I need to calculate the BMR myself? Or does it calculate on it's own, using the other data I've already entered?

If your BMR is too low, try changing your goal or your start/stop dates.  If you're trying to lose too much in too short a time, the calorie count won't look right.  The 1618 is more like it for someone your size, then to lose weight you would either subtract some calories or exercise more.

Well, I thought it was kinda low. only ~883, I'm 5'7", 24 y/o  and 175 lbs. I used a BMR calculator online and it was 1618. I'll see if it changes as I enter more data, if not I'll email support, because I really think the number it shows is really low.

It should calculate it on it's own. If not I would email support about it.
