Low carb low cal - MFP doesnt calculate for the low lac just what it thinks you should have

Am doing fast 800 keto - its gets my nutrients (50g carbs, 50g protein the rest fat ) when i input this i get about 997 cals
HOWEVER
when you look at your dashboard, its still trying to tell me how many carbs i have left from 79 g of carbs, 97g of fat and 97 g of protein - how do i make it stick to the 997?

Probably because 997 calories is too low for an adult not under medical supervision. This app cannot be seen to support dangerous dieting trends so it sets a minimum calorie allowance for women (1200) and men (1500).

People who take in fewer calories are either outliers (ie very small) or need medical supervision as it’s unlikely they are eating enough to sustain a body.
