New here. Deciding between this and Noom. On this app, they want my calorie intake at 1200. This seems way too low!

    First - check your settings. 1200 is a default minimum for women here.

    If you set an aggressive weekly weight loss goal you can get to 1200. Also, 1200 is your goal here BEFORE exercise is added. You earn more calories when you log exercise. If you sync an activity tracker, that can add (or subtract) calories too.

    But, either way you can over-ride this number. If you've used an outside calculator (and don't want to log exercise) you can just plug in that number. You don't have to pay for premium to make this change.
