Sorry, basic question, but I can't figure out how...!

    MFP automatically adjusts your goal as you lose weight, or you can enter your own calorie goal instead:
    Has not adjusted my goals automatically for me once. It gives a reminder to do it, but I've not seen it do it by itself.
    I'm not sure about the app, but if you're on a computer, go to your profile and click 'goals' at the top of the page. Then, under Daily Nutrition Goals, click edit and enter your own target.

    Not the way I do it.

    Settings>Update Diet/fitness profile>Change anything>Update profile
    Once you do this you need to go back to the goals and re-do any changes you made to your Macro percentages, as they will be back to the defaults.
  • MFP does not automatically adjust it for me. Every week I have to go in manually, click on my goal weight, change nothing, and hit save. Then it re-adjusts my calorie goal. One of my biggest pet peeves about MFP, actually.

    Wow, thank you @Zupdood for this post and all of you for your answers! I had no idea that MFP wouldn't readjust automatically. I just did what @missmagnoliablossom suggested above and it recalculated like I thought it should have a while back. Thanks, again!

    Just go in and change it to "maintain my current weight", then change it back again. That should force it to recalculate.

    Has never changed it for me either. When I reach my goal weight I adjust what my new goal weight is then it adjusts my calories
