After I put that in, first I chose I am sedentary, because for the psat little while I have been. Then re-entered everything and chose Lightly active, since I will be working out every other day and it gave me those numbers. I don't think I entered anything wrong, but I could very well have haha.

I entered the figures above and it came out with....

Your Daily Calorie Requirements Are: 2945 Calories Per Day

Wow, what the heck was I doing wrong then? haha. Thanks Doug. Now I guess my next question would be, what do I do with that number? Like how am I able to keep track all the calories I eat?

Depends on what your goal is, if you want to lose fat then you have to eat approx 500 calories less than that number, if you want to put mass on then you have to eat approx 300-500 calories more...
