Inconsistent Goal Settings

Hello,

I love myfitnesspal but I am having some confusion with the settings in my "Goals" section.

I am currently 84.6 kg and my goal is 82 kg. I have listed my activity level as "Lightly Active" and that my weight loss goal is "0.75 kg a week".

When I enter these details my "net kilojoule consumed" per day calculates to be 8792kj per day. However, when I change the weight loss goal to "0.5 kg a week", which is less weight loss per week, the "net kj consumed" per day calculates to 6650. My activity level is the same.

Do you know why it is saying I can consume more kj a day when I want to lose 0.25 kg more per week? Sorry, I hope that makes sense!

Thank you for any help you may provide.

Not sure I follow...

When you set it to lose .75kg per week, you get a higher daily calorie goal than when you set it to lose .5kg per week?

Yeah, exactly. Very odd. Could be a glitch in the system.
