Hi,

My sister has just started on MFP and has lost six pound in her first week! Does she need to adjust her calorie goal or is this done automatically the more weight you lose?

Many thanks

    IME I believe means in my experience, and yes it automatically adjusts, for me every 10lbs I lose it adjusts

    It can adjust automatically, but if you custom-set your goals, it won't.

    Yes, she should adjust every 10lbs or so. Though remember that if she's also working out and maintaining most of her LBM, her body fat percentage will go down as her weight does, and she may not need to adjust calories as much as she thinks.

    This too. Those 6lbs in the first week were very probably 5lbs of water weight and 1lb of actual fat.
