So on Saturday my calorie goal was 1590. On Sunday it was 1390 and today, tomorrow and onward it is now 1200 calories a day. There's no way I can eat only 1200 a day every day. Wth happened?

    Did you change anything? Your weight? Is your height and gender correct? Did you change your weight-loss goal (like, from "Lose one pound per week" to "Lose two pounds per week) - that will change your calories.

    When you add exercise you are given more calories.

    Go to "MY HOME > GOALS" to check.

    Did you log exercise Saturday and Sunday? MFP will add calories to your goal if you log cardio exercise (or if you have an HRM linked to your account).
    Did you go into your goals in your account and change them accidentally?

    In any case, you can always change your goal to a slower rate of loss (1 lb or 1/2 lb a week instead of 1 1/2 or 2 pounds a week) if you want to a higher calorie goal.

    Idk what in the world happen. My exercise is linked through my Apple Watch. I don't believe I messed with anything. I may try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it bc it seems to be a glitch if it keeps changing that much every day.?.?. When it has never changed on its own before.

    MFP can be glitchy

    You get more calories if you do more exercise (that's the way MyFitnessPal is designed to be used.)

    It was a glitch. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Now back to normal. And I already do Crossfit 5 days a week and the C25K running program 3xs a week. Not sure I could add anymore exercise right now. I know for sure there's no way I could keep up my exercise regime on 1200 a day. I'd pass out! Lol! So so so glad to know it's back to normal now!

    It's ok to eat a few hundred more cals unless you're already at a small deficit. Worst case is is that loss will slow down a teeny bit but you would still lose.
