Updating calorie intake after weight loss

pattybristow

Hi everyone, I have been using my fitness app for 3 weeks and have updated my weight loss but my calorie intake has not updated. Can anyone help? How do I get the calories to change?

There is not a meaningful change until about 10 lbs has been lost.

That's when it should auto-ask if you want to update your goals.

You can also just run through your setup again, merely update current weight (not original) and it'll adjust then.

Thank you for your help, I will keep an eye on this.

That is indeed the page for manually updating and saving if you want instant calorie change for eating goal.
10lbs may be around 70 calories.

If you're at 1200 cals it won't change

Excellent reminder.

If you run through the manual change on settings screen you'll see synopsis of daily burn estimate - that will change.
But only looking at eating goal won't as above.

I can't recall on the auto-change if it presents the new synopsis screen, or merely says it's updated the eating goal.
Which could be confusing at 1200 not to see a change really occur.
