New to using this app. I set my calories in the daily nutritional goals at 1765, but when I go to the particular day, it says calories remaining 1300. Why? Why doesn't it say 1765 like I put in?

    Have you also set a rate of weekly weight loss? If so, it adjusts your caloric intake in order to achieve the set weight loss goal.

    Did you already input 465 calories worth of food?

    ...or, did you "save" your new goals? If you did it on a mobile device/app, try it on a browser.

    I set my rate as maintaining; not weight loss. I also saved my new goals. It still says 1300 calories instead of 1765. Help!!!
