Have you double checked all the data you are inputting? What measures are you using - kilos or pounds?0
-
everything is in Kg, as we dont use lbs here0
-
What's your height, current weight and target weight?0
-
Definetly sounds like an error there somewhere !0
-
Have you checked your weight loss goal - are you aiming to gain or loose- how much you want to loose/gain by. Also, how much exercise have you imputted? make sure all the weights and units are the same unit and that you have converted eerything properly.0

current weight 96.6kg goal 65.6kg height 5 5" and light not sedentary job, 1 workout a week 20min0
-
wow!! It has given me 1200 which seems strange too as I have about 5 stone to lose0
-
Check that your goal says to lose 1;b/2lb a week and not GAIN - that is sometimes the problem0
-
yes its on lose 1 lb a week.... really weird as i said it was 1600cal last time all i changed was my current weight and exercise, as cant exercise as much coz of injury0
-
Check that when you enter the weight in kilos it doesnt automatically switch your height to metres.
I tried doing a quick calulation of BMR for you there, but it wouldn't seem to let me have feet and inches for height with kg for weight.0 -

There must be something that you put in that is wrong. Recheck very carefully xx0

omg Melaniecheeks u were right!!!!! it had me as 5 metres 5 cm tall.... what a giant i am..lol
Stephvaile i can have in lbs on here, but we use kilos on our scales and is confusing me seeing it in lbs instead of kgs0 -
Start from the beginning. Close it, open it again, and triple check everything as you enter it.
cms/feet and inches for height
lbs/kg for weight
LOSE/GAIN lbs/kgs per week...
Don't eat 4500 a day...0 -
