Today I weighed in. I dropped 2 pounds. My calorie goal stayed the same. Shouldn’t MFP lower my calorie goal as I lose weight?

    2lbs isn't really enough to warrant a change in your calorie goal. Maybe every 10-20lbs depending on your weight loss goals.

    2 lbs difference is about 1 calorie so i don't think you need to worry. MFP will change your calorie goal every 10lbs until you get to 1200.

    2 lbs is a drop in the bucket -- it has a negligible impact on your TDEE.
