That is one way of figuring your daily burn but keep in mind if you also workout you need to take that into consideration with the higher activity multiplier. You get that total number to find your maintenance with exercise. To lose weight, you then subtract from there. Typically by 300-500 calories/per day unless you have lots to lose then you can subtract more but from what I recall you are more or less very close to your goal, right?
