I'm confused. MFP had my calories set at 1300 when I had my goal to lose half a pound a week and my lifestyle as lightly active. I haven't lost anything in a really long time bc I can't eat just 1300 calories.
So, I went in and changed my goal to lose 1 pound a week and my lifestyle as sedentary. I have SO many more calories now! Me=confused.
