    In case people in the group haven't realized it, MFP recently (Let's call it early 2025 could have been a bit earlier) changed the multiplier they assign to each activity level.

    Which means that the base activity calories that are assigned for people who have no connected devices are now higher than they used to be.

    The estimate used to be 1.25, 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8x BMR for sedentary to very active

    It is now 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0x BMR respectively

    Nothing changes for those who are using their watch estimate but the base calories are now higher for people who are just using MFP directly

    (You get more calories to eat which may or may not be helpful to each individual depending where they're at!)
