Why did my recommended calories jump up?

My recommended calories was set at 1700, with my goal to lose 1 lbs a week. All of a sudden it jumped up to over 2200! I'm new and I haven't been logging in my exercise until today. Did that effect the calorie count?

Thanks.

    Your calories will change because you need to eat back the calories you burned with exercise. If you started off at 1700 for the day, then burned 500 calories, the 500 calories you burned will be added to the 1700 calories you should already be eating each day.

    Hi, got a similar question. I am adding in my excecise but when I had dropped over 10 lbs the site asked if I wanted to recalc my goals and suddenly added 190 cal onto my base total ex excecise. Not entirely sure what is going on here. Anybody got any ideas.

    Thanks.

    its because your pounds per week that they recommend that you lose dropped. The more weight you lose, the slower you need to go.
