Calories reducing when losing weight?

tdavies174

I followed a calorie counting diet with another website years ago and every week when i weighed in my daily calorie intake reduced according to what i lost

so far, i've lost 5lbs on here and my calories are stil the same

Do they automatically reduce after a certain loss or how does it work?

they reduce every 10lbs, until you get down to 1200 cals.

you can also do it manually if you like by going to settings and update your diet/fitness profile and just press update on the bottom

When you lose weight, you will require less calories for fuel so it's important to keep adjusting calorie intake after losing a significant amount of weight. Your BMR will be lower and if you kept eating the same as if you were at your original weight - you may be eating into the "deficit" you are trying to create to lose weight.

You can manually adjust daily calorie goal in MFP
