As I log my weightloss will it automatically lower my allowed calories, if not how do I change it?

    Change it under goals. It doesn't automatically update. It used to prompt you to do an update but I'm not sure that it does anymore.

    I've never seen it do it automatically. Go to settings and click 'update diet/fitness profile'. Your new weight will already be there, you just need to click 'save' and your calorie goal will update.

    I go in and do it every time my weight goes down. Normally it doesn't cause a change to the goal, but once in a while it'll go down by 10 calories.

    I know a lot of people do it less often, but that would result in bigger decreases, which I would find challenging. I'd rather have smaller changes more often.
