Calories for Maintenance

MaryBachert

Can anyone tell me how many calories you need for maintenance?

it varies per person

go to your goals and set MFP to target you at maintain weight instead of lose weight/gain weight and it will reset to your maintenance goal

Under MY HOME, click Goals.

Click "Change Goals" near the bottom center of the page.

Select "Guided" and click "Continue"

At the bottom of the pages under "What is your goal" select in the drop down "Maintain my current weight" then click "Update profile" that will give you your maintenance calories.

Never knew that , Thank you for taking the time to explain, I copied the info so I can use it later.

Just remember that if you've "customized" your macro-nutrient ratios (protein more than 15% etc) updating through guided will reset your ratios to the default. So don't forget to edit those on the custom goals page.
