Calorie count for the day

Options
my current problem is that with my active lifestyle and the size of my portions, it's hard to reCb my calorie goal. Is the calorie goal something to stay under or something to reach? Cause I'm way under it every day so far. Advice or help needed

    How many calories has MFP advised you to eat and what are you hitting on average? Also, stats?

    Are you eating back your exercise calories?

    When you say "active lifestyle" do you mean MFP is calculating your exercise calories and adding them on? They may be overstated.

    How far under? Are you eating at least your BMR (I'd guess that's about 1600 for you but don't have your specific details)

    Your calorie goal is a # to try and get as close to as you can. Consistency is the goal, not perfection. Do your best!
