weight gain even though im staying under my calorie goal??

I looked a that and figured mine... it seemed way high to me it was almost 2000 calories per day if I didn't exercise at all? Can that be right? I think I may keep doing what I'm doing for now until/unless I plateau. The other thing is that won't that make my calculator off all the time? IE it looks like I've gone over my calories when I haven't?

It's about right for many of us. We come to MFP without any idea of how much we eat as a matter of course and when we're heavier we burn far more calories a day than we think just through general daily activity. Thinking back, I was easily eating 3,000 a day before I joined.

Use custom settings to make this number your new goal and it won't look like you've gone over.
