It suddenly changed from 1,440 to 1,290 which is clearly a fairly big difference. I've lost around 17 pounds since I started using the site and it's never changed my calorie goal before. Also 1,290 seems pretty low to me. Thoughts?

    My calorie goal automatically went up by 450 after weighing in this week. I don't understand. Does it adjust automatically with your weight? It doesn't make sense to me that I'm now allowed more calories when I weigh less. Help!

    It adjusts as you lose weight, because as you lose weight, it will take a greater calorie deficit to keep you losing at your selected rate ( like 1 pound/ week). That being said, when mine changed, it went from 1,420 to 1,400. So not a huge change. But I only have about 20 pounds to lose. Did you change any other settings?

    I don't believe it changes automatically when you log a lower weight. If you re-run the goal settings with a lower weight it will change.

    Mine has lowered when I logged a lower weight.
