My calorie intake on myfitnesspal is telling me 1200 per day but that is too low and I'm worrying that my body is in starvation mode. I realized after doing some research that I should be taking in around 1900. No matter what I do on the app I can't make it change automatically. Do I just change it myself? I guess I just expected the app to know that 1200 cal per day for my weight is too low.

    I have the same problem. The app on MFP goes purely on your height and weight, which doesn't fit everyone due to its simplicity. The only way I've found to change the target calories is to alter your goal (probably to gaining a pound a week?) so that the calories fit and you have a real target to hit rather than being told every day that you've exceeded your calories (which is a bit disheartening).

    Hope this helps.......
