Does MFP reduce the amount of calories after a certain weight loss limit?
or do you have to do it yourself / or does it just stay the same??

Thanks Mamma xx

    whenever you feel you've lost enough weight to warrant a decrease, you can go to goals and select guided goals. it will update your calorie limit based on your current weight.

    I know my TDEE goes down as I lose weight. Since I eat TDEE - 20%, my calories go down.

    I recently reached my target weight and have adjusted my settings so that my daily calorie intake is geared toward maintaining that weight. Although, I have gone so long on a net daily calorie intake of 1200, I am, as yet, uncertain how I am going to incorporate 350 extra calories a day...

    But I'm sure I'll work something out eventually.

    Couple of doughnuts should do it! ;)
