Gina - I think those calculations are a good benchmark as a place to start. You can re-evaluate after 4-6 weeks to see if you need to move in either direction.
It doesn't look like you've posted a whole day's menu in your training log (just your calorie range and one dish that you enjoy making) so I'm not sure the comments were fair that said you aren't eating enough. You haven't really given enough information in your log to make a statement either way. If you are, in fact, eating the level of calories you've committed to, I think you should be ok for now.
