If you are trying for 2 pounds, then just reduce your calories by an additional 500 from the amount shown on the calculator.

To determine what your daily calorie intake should be in order to start losing weight, you will need to know and understand your basal metabolic rate. BMR is the amount of calories you would burn while at rest.
