Hi Alyssa
Elizabeth is right about the activities and the time deductions - same on the web as it is on fitday PC.
If you have the time, try logging in all your activities for a full, typical day, so you get a total of 24 hours; you'll notice that the lifestyle calories have dropped to zero. Doing this will also give you a good idea of whether or not your choice of 'lifestyle' is accurate or not (i.e. if you find you're burning a lot more calories in an average day, without exercise, than your 'lifestyle' value says you are, you should probably bump yourself up to the next level.)
Like Linz said, if you have a particularly active day, you can also temporarily change your lifestyle setting.
Re: minerals; I have a hard time with calcium especially. Luna bars are very helpful here (they have as much vitamins and minerals as multivitamin but are, for most, easier to digest!), as is soy milk. I also take a liquid calcium/magnesium/zinc/vitmain D supplement when needed... but usually I just take my daily multivitamin.
I know that some people who have had lots of problems with vitmains in the past have had some success with prenatal vitamins, which I think are easier on the tum. Ask your doc about that maybe? Children's vitamins are easier too, but most of the time they're chewable which means they usually have artificial sweeteners in them 
Hope that helps!
