in Getting Started
Goals entered. .. 1400 cals per day. .. 140g carbs 140gm protein and 30-50gm of fats per day works out 40/40/20% but some of the days are different either lower or higher, why is this?

    I believe it is because MFP increases the calories and everything else based on the cardio exercise you put in, so if you burn 150 calories doing aerobic exercises, you get to eat 150 more calories that day

    It's before you even put in the exercise i think it maybe to change it up over the week so you eat smaller on some days and larger on others ... hmmm who knows!!

    Nope it will only change because of exercise included - otherwise it is a static amount

    do you have a pedometer or similar app linked to MFP which would automatically adjust your numbers (like a fitbit?)
