I just updated my profile since I lost 5 pounds. At 160 lbs, MFP said I could eat 1390 netcalories per day to lose 1 pound a week. Now, at 155 lbs, it says I can eat 1490 netcalories per day (same settings for everything else). Btw, Im 5'8" and I think I still have about 15-20 pounds of fat to get rid off. :wink:

I dont understand. :noway: I thought I would have to eat LESS since I weight less, no ?! :huh:

If my memory isnt fooling me, Im pretty sure I had MORE netcalories allowed (like 1500...) when I weighted more (like 170 lbs).

So what to believe and what do now ? :ohwell:

    Re-enter your old weight again and see how many calories you get.

    Thank you. I just did that and hell it says I should have eaten 1530 netcalories at 160 lbs (but I swear it was saying 1390 yesterday and for the past few weeks! :ohwell: ). And of course, MFP still says 1490 for 155 lbs...

    Odd... :ohwell:
