Sedentary lifestyle I need 2,776 calories for a 1lb loss/week. That still seems like a lot!!

My stats are

Height 5' 6"
Weight 320 (might be less now, but was 320 when I got weighed in Oct)
Age 40
Female
Activity level is mostly Sedentary because I'm still nursing my foot wound.
That is WAY off. I just ran the calculations that I run for everyone else here and I came up with 1595 calories a day to lose 2lbs a week, or 2095 calories a day to lose 1lb a week.

Hope this helps.
