Hello! Out of nowhere today my daily calorie goal has dropped by over 500 calories - any ideas why?!

    Did you change your goal settings? I would check them to see if your goal weight loss rate, activity level or other options have changed.

    Another option is: if you've lost quite a bit of weight, MFP doesn't automatically reduce your calorie goal. If you didn't update/ check your goal settings for a long time and then changed/ confirmed them, your goal would suddenly be updated to reflect your lower weight.
