    On the screen before you changed it to 1lb a week (so under the Goals tab) you also have the option to choose 'Custom' rather than 'Guided'. In here you can change your calories as well as your other goals/macros (so things like protein, carbs, fat, sodium etc). :smile:

    You can custom set your calorie amount if you wish to set to 1500....
    Home / Goals / Click on change goals / click the "custom" radio button. (This is for the web verison by the way.)

    Set your goals to Custom and input the numbers your nutritionist gave you manually. You can also put in specific nutrient and exercise goals, if you were given those.
