I'm not quite sure where to post this but I wanted to share. When I have a weight loss I always remember to change the number on my signature and on my profile and ALSO in my settings. If you have MFP determining your calorie intake (doesn't apply to people with custom settings) you have to update diet/fitness profile.

First click on "Setting" on your homepage. Then the 5th option down in "UPDATE DIET/FITNESS PROFILE". Make sure that it has your current weight correct and then hit update.

I hadn't done this until I had lost 10 lbs and it took away 30 calories. Today when I weighed in and lost a total of 2.8 lbs for a total of 14 lbs, it took my calories down by 20.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up in case you weren't aware.

  • thanks i did not know you have to update this information. I just did and my profile went down by 40calories
  • Do you not regularly update your weight using the check-in tab (or progress tab in the app)? If you do this, it should automatically adjust your calorie goals, BMR, etc. At least it does for me.
