The nutritional recommendation is just a guide. The best way to find out would be to find out what your current maintenance calories are. Then, adjust by 250 cals/day until you begin to notice some weight loss. Of course this process takes time, but you will at least know more about your eating habits and total caloric consumption.

Good luck!
