I got a new phone and transfered all of my apps. MFP transfered over with all my data, except now it has me at a calorie count daily that is OVER the recommended daily calorie intake for the average person. Please help.

    There's a couple things you can do here; for one, if you know what your goals are, you can simply customize them how you want via the Goals tab.

    Alternatively you can try to reset your default goals and see if it returns you to your previous goals, or at least something that feels closer to the mark. You should be able to do this in two different areas.

    • Simply go to www.MyFitnessPal.com, sign in with the same username and password as the app. Once online you can either go to the main "Settings" tab and then to "Edit Diet/Fitness Profile". Make sure all information is correct in that area. Whether you need to make changes or not to the page, if you then click the Update Profile link at the bottom of the page, it should instantly set you on the most current information for your profile.
    • Or if you like, you can go to the "Goals" tab, and then "Change Goals" then "Guided" and walk through the set up once more. If you are using an app, all updated changes should then transfer to the app the next time you log in with the same username and password, and there is a valid internet connection.
