Goals changing...without my input?

Hondo_Man

Right then, this is odd. The past few days, I've noticed my goals changing and not changing.

I've had my daily goals set for the past 3-4 weeks. Suddenly, Friday last they began to change on their own. This has never happened before.

Is there a glitch in the matrix? Has the system become buggy? I'm having to watch this now even more to ensure I'm not going over.

Screen shots: Mind I set it to 2400 calories 3 weeks ago and also adjusted my macros. Sunday last was increased dramatically! These are the last five days in a row. The first is from Friday last and the third is from Monday last. These are correct and how I set my goals weeks ago. The other three? No idea how or why they've changed.

As you can see in the screenshots, you earned extra calories from exercise on those days. This isn't a glitch, it's the way MFP is intended to work:
- you choose an activity level (not including exercise) which determines your base calorie goal
- you log exercise separately, for which you get extra calories (to maintain the selected weight loss rate)
- in case of a synced fitness tracker, you also get extra calories for exceeding your selected exercise level

If you choose your weight loss goal based on a TDEE calculator (which includes all exercise/activity up front) and don't want to see calorie adjustments:
- in the premium version you can turn off calorie adjustments (by the way, premium also allows you to choose to which macros the extra calories get allotted if you enable the adjustments)
- alternatively: log all exercise in your diary as having burned 1 calorie / unsync your fitness tracker

unsync your fitness tracker

don't recall syncing anything to MFP. Regardless, unsync'd. Cheers.
