My fitness pal goal changed. I have been at 1200 calories for the last two weeks. Monday and Tuesday it was 1200 and yesterday it changed to 1400 per day. Why?

    Did you add in any exercise?

    I noticed that today and i think it has to do with when we have activity. When we work out we burn calories... we get the opportunity to eat more because our bodies are burning. calories because of working out. I did notice that myself. I'm gonna have to bulk up more (healthier options) since I'll be moving my body around 4-5 days a week in the gym and other activities.

    I usually work out 4x a week, but not in the last two weeks since joining fitnesspal. I did 3x this week and did lose 2 pounds. Thanks. It was probably the extra workouts.

    Here's a thread that explains how MFP works and how it calculates goals.
