MFP keeps auto-setting my goal to 1200 cal/day

Yet we aren't supposed to be under that. Why does it want me at the lowest goal? Is this even sustainable? I'm having a hard time sticking to 1350...

    What are putting as your goal loss per week and what are your current stats? Also worth noting the MFP goal is BEFORE any purposeful activity/exercise. You eat at least some of any additional calories burned.

    Are you aiming for 2 pounds/week? That's usually too aggressive of a goal unless you have over 75 pounds to lose.

    Have you tried changing it manually? If you've done that, and it keeps defaulting back, contact Customer Support.

    NB - any time you go through the 'guided set up' it will reset everything to default, both calories and macros, based on what you entered as your weekly weight loss goal.

    Yes, and even aiming for 1 lb per week could be too aggressive if you're fairly small.
