As I lose weight will MFP automatically adjust my calories? As I lose weight will I be expected to eat more clories or less? I had my settings set to lose 11/2 lbs per week and MFP told me to eat 1200 cals per day (w/o exercise). I didnt feel like I was eating enough so I set it to the recommended 1 lb per week. Now MFP wants me to eat 1450 cals per day (w/o) exercise. If I exercise it seems like a lot of cals to be eating. I'm 5'5" and 191lbs, 37 yrs old. Thanks for any info!
