Switching between 2 daily calorie goals

Hi

Is it possible to set and switch between 2 daily calorie goals in MyFitnessPal?

I would like to set up a daily maintenance calorie limit on my non-training days, and then set up a second higher intake of calories on my training days. I would like to switch between these 2 depending on what day it is, rather than having to switch it manually back and forth each day, is that possible?

Thanks
Consecca

    Your daily goal is your non-training day goal.
    (Notice when you set your activity setting it makes no mention of exercise.)

    When you exercise you are supposed to log that exercise and you get a higher goal that day.

    The way you want to eat is broadly the way this site is designed to be used but the additional calories from exercise will vary in line with what your exercise is on that particular day. If you really want to you could overwrite the estimate given with a set amount to give you two distinct calorie levels for training and non-training days.

    The premium version allows you to customize calories and vary them on a daily basis.

    You can use it to cycle calories for training and non training days. Without premium, the method outlined by the poster above ^^ should work well for you too
