Am I missing the point.. I most probably am!! Right it says for my weight and height I am too it 1666 calories per day, but my friend who is heavier has too eat more calories surely it should be the other way around??

Why do you think it should be the other way around? An elephant needs more food than a mouse.
The heavier you are, the more calories you burn at rest. As you get lighter your TDEE will go down.

Exactly. I need far fewer calories than my husband who is a foot taller than I am.
