Do your calories get reduced as you lose weight? and how does it work when you just want to maintain?

    i believe it is every 10 lbs you lose it adjusts your calorie intake automatically. A nd if you want to just maintain then you have to change your user settings like when you first joined from losing weight to maintaining weight.

    I adjusted mine down to the minimum when I started because I wanted a faster weight loss so I haven't adjusted mine since. When I weigh it does ask if I would like to adjust my calories and I choose not to.

    That doesn't seem to make sense, when you weigh less you get to eat less calories, so your results would be faster if you did adjust yours, the problem is you will have less to eat.

    I like the formula that the people on "Cook Yourself Thin," use in counting calories.

    Your goal weight times 10.

    Goal Weight is 150 lbs, x 10 = 1500 calories per day.

    Once you're at your goal weight, just maintain with that calorie count.
