    Your calorie allowance should update automatically if you have been logging your weights in the Progress/Check In section.

    it doesnt update automatically.mine never has. you have to go back in and recalculate calories for your new weight.

    you can put in your old weight and how much you set it to lose and then put in your new weight and see the difference.There may be an easier way to see but not sure what that way is

    It should offer to re-calculate every 10lbs. https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/689990-how-can-i-force-my-calorie-goals-to-update-

    well yeah that way it will, but if you go to goals and put in your new weight(where it asks for say waist measurments and all that) it wont change. at least that way for me it didnt I had to go through the goals section to get it to change.
