Calorie goal changed?

My daily calorie goal just dropped by 150 (1370 to 1220). My weight hasn’t changed (just starting up again after pandemic stress eating). Any thoughts?

    Did you change your deficit?

    Did you lose weight previously, without MFP ever lowering your calorie goal? Starting up again and perhaps editing your goal settings might have prompted MFP to update your calorie goal now, belatedly. MFP is supposed to update the calorie goal as our weight changes, but I've found it doesn't update automatically, I need to 'force' it by going through my goal setup regularly.

    I have had my calorie goal change before slightly with no change in any other stats before. I thought it was just me and a forgetful memory but maybe not. I just shrugged and moved on as I know it needs to be adjusted anyway as I burn more than predicted by any calculator.
