Calorie Consumption

thcri

The program originally set me up to eating roughly 2100 calories per day. I am eating close to that amount but I get this message at the bottom of my daily pages. Am I suppose to increase my intake by 1200? otherwise it does not make sense as I am 2100, it wants me to increase to 1200??


"*Based on your total calories consumed for today, you are eating too few calories. Not only is it difficult to receive adequate nutrition at these calorie levels, but you could also be putting your body into starvation mode. Starvation mode lowers your metabolism and makes weight loss more difficult. We suggest increasing your calorie consumption to 1,200 calories per day minimum."

1200 is your minimum. Try to meet it every day, plus any exercises you log. Your deficit is already built in, too large a deficit can be detrimental.

what that is saying is right now according to the site you are eating below 1,200 calories, you say you're eating around 2,100 something isn't being entered correctly or processed wrong

How much are you burning off through exercise? That can lead to a caloric deficit.

I guess I am lost. I thought 2100 was my minimum or roughly where I wanted to be?

It is entered and shows that I ate 2000 for yesterday. But still have the message.

If you open up your food diary, it might help us figure out whats going wrong. After the problem is figured out, just close it again if you dont like people snooping.

I see the message all the time, but its because I am on a 1200 calorie diet, so if Im under by even 2 calories, I get the message.

However, I am wondering if that just isnt a default message if you go under your calorie mark? Hmmm...

Are you working out and bringing your net calories under 1200? It will give you the message if so.

I will gladly open it up but will need advice on how to. My true goal is, 2030, I consumed 1852 leaving a shortage of 178. I had no exercise yesterday but typically do just not yesterday.

1200 calories?? how do you get away with that??
