I am curious where this maintenance # comes from. I'm not challenging it, I am genuinely curious.

I am trying to drop some weight after being out of it for about 18 months due to a partial achilles tear and shoulder injuries. I am 5'8" and MyFitnessPal puts my needs at 2440 for maintenance at my current weight of 188lb. 1940 should net me a pound a week. I want to get back to 165 where I was before.
