Calorie adjustment for weight loss

Does MFP automatically adjust my calories burned on it's calculator if I've entered my weight loss on my profile etc?
And would this also apply to exercises I've added to the Database myself? I know they're estimates and I'd be better with a HRM, but in the absence, can anyone confirm if MFP will make an auto adjustment?
Thanks.

    I have no idea - I've noticed it doesn't have calorie allocations for anything I do that is non-cardio. Would be intersting to know how to work them out.

    I thought they did for calories burned, but they apparently do not.

    Once you lose enough weight, the MFP apps for mobile devices will recommend that you adjust your calorie goals, so all you do is go in and reupdate your weight loss goal (one pound per week or whatever) and your new calorie goal will be calculated. On the main site, I've never seen a recommendation, but I'd think it would show up if you run a report at the end the day (from the bottom of your diary) or when you reach a certain point in the "weigh in" section.
