As I lose weight shouldn't the amount of calories I need daily drop as well? Does MFP automatically adjust for this or do I need to do it manually?

    As I was losing weight, I recall seeing pop-up messages that said something to the effect of "You've lost some weight, we should re-calculate". It might have happened once or twice, but I'm a "tinkerer" so my settings never stayed the same for very long.

    If you are using MFP's guided settings, the program will prompt you to update your goals with each 10lb drop.

    If you entered customized goals, you will have to go in and recalculate everything on your own.
