edited February 1 in Goal: Maintaining Weight
How do you change over to maintenance calories? When I put in that I've reached my goal weight it still recommends that I eat 1200 calories and tells me I should lose x amount by x time. This can't be correct for maintenance? Thanks!

    Oh - and I choose "Sedentary" then record any exercise that is not daily life stuff so I have the option to eat back those calories.

    Good idea, unless of course, your daily life is not sedentary. :smile:

    You can also get an activity tracker to sync with your diary and enable negative adjustments here on MFP
