MFP yells at me saying I am under the 1200 calorie minimum when I am over it.

I forgot to put on my flame suit before posting today lol. thank you for all of the "Health tips" But all I wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing this bug.
I am pretty sure I wasn't complaining about anything else. I typically work out daily and I eat up to 1800 calories a day. Occasionally if I miss a work out I might eat a little less. I am well within my 2 lb per week weight loss and I make a conscious effort to keep macros somewhat balanced.
I have been on this site for years and I "get it". I appreciate the concern from the community about my health but I go to the doc regularly and I am in great health. I know my body well and what I can and cannot get away with.
I must say I was amused by some of the posts haha.
MFP as far as I know, was designed to (and in the years using it only ever has) yell when you dip below a net of 1200 calories.
flame on friends! You are welcome for giving you something to rant about0 -
I couldn't eat that little each day. Aren't you hungry all the time? I'm 5'3'' and eat around 1600 calories everyday and lose weight.0

I think it's 1400 for men. It is silly. And don't worry about the low calories too much if you don't mind not being muscular. There are many studies that suggest low cal diets can potentially increase lifespan(shown in mice), however this definitely will come at the cost of muscle mass. I myself have a hard time eating anywhere near my TDEE amount. I have a desk job and sit at home on the couch/comp. With such a sedentary lifestyle eating low cal really isn't hard to do to maintain weight. If you have a more active lifestyle then you definitely should be eating more. Food = fuel, if you aren't moving, you need less food.0

It probably changed to yell at you if you go below the lowest calorie threshold for you... Yours may be 1500 calories while mine may be 1200...0 -

No one is ranting. you asked we delivered.
judging by your photo, 2lbs/ week is a little drastic, and you should eat more.
you know so you lose mostly fat instead of mostly lean body mass, but whatevs.0 -

I asked for pizza and you delivered Chinese. (Although I will only eat half a slice to stay within my 500 cal a day max)

Not a bug at all.
Hoped for wake-up call for someone not thinking clearly from lack of food.
2lb weekly weight loss goal - really losing that much weekly?
Over 70 lbs to lose?
Taking reasonable goal it won't help with sadly.

2 pounds a week is not appropriate when you have 12 pounds to lose.
But hey, fast weight loss makes the scale look good. Fast weight loss doesn't generally support lean muscle.0 -

I am well aware of the need for macro control and strength training for muscle definition. I was talking about occasional days that I don't work out. Not every day of my life haha. I even put in parentheses "when I don't work out) which I try to work out 5 days a week and I play Basketball on the weekend. this post was merely asking about the occasion that I post a low number and it yells at me even though its over the 1200 that it says. I guess I cannot blame people for being bored.0 -
and in all reality I am closer to 1 lb a week not 2. My maint is 1900 cal.0
-
2lbs a week is the thresh hold for an obese person. You sir, are not obese. If you actually dig a little deeper the max weight loss recommended per week is 1% of current body weight, but that again is if you are obese.
You should not be losing more than 1/2 lbs per week.0 -

Whats your weight and Height?
My maintenance is closer to 2800 at 6'0 220lbs0 -

To answer your question, it never yells at me. Whether I go over or under calories.
A simple solution though: Don't complete your diary and it will say nothing to you. Its a button meant for little more than whimsy anyway.0 -

I'm a 33 year old chick with 35 pounds to lose still and I try never to eat below my BMR of 1570. So suck it up and eat more.0

Using your age, height, weight and guessing at moderatly active (3-5days of exercising) in multiple calculators, you would probably still lose weight on 1900 calories a day, and maintain around 2400-2500
so yeah anyday below, at or near 1200 calories is too low. and yes the app should yell at you and will always yell at you.0 -
