Calorie goal not working?

My calorie goal for the day is 2403. When I look at “today” in my diary, it shows the 2403 goal. When I look at “tomorrow” in my diary, and every day forward, it shows 2850 calories as my goal. How come?eyzlu6bul4im.png

    Confusing, but the amounts are pretty oddly high. What are your stats, what did you say for activity level, what is hooked up to MFP (Fitbit or the like)?
  • I have the same question with resetting carbs etc. Each new day seems to go back to default settings Thanks for any help...

    Some things to try:

    Log out and back in
    Recalculate your calorie goal making sure all your stats are correct

    If that doesn’t fix it. Try recalculating the goal from the website instead of through the app.

    Does it re-set at midnight? Check in the morning before you log anything and see if it has gone back to 2043

    Only it seems to have just rolled your uneaten calories over to the next day.

    This.

    Op, those numbers seem really high-what's your age/height/current weight and activity level? Are you trying to lose weight or gain weight?

    You're a premium member. Double check your settings. In premium, you can set different daily targets. It's possible that something in the settings is wonky.

    The difference is that the first screen shot includes Exercise Calories you already did.
    The app cannot predict the future/.
