    MFP yells at me saying I am under the 1200 calorie minimum when I am over it.

      If you're worried about an app yelling at you, you have bigger problems.

      I eat 1200-1300 a day, and I am pretty active on days I work out (2-4 days a week) and I have done well this way.

      If I finish my day (on a day I don't work out) close to, but over the net 1200 rule MFP will tell me to stop being dumb and eat more. Just yesterday I finished around 1350 and it yelled at me. anyone else see this? I couldn't find anything about it on the tech support forums. I don't like when it yells at me :'(
      Happens to me too sometimes, I just ignore it. I try to not use the "credits" the workout gives me and try to stay between 1200 and 1500 calories per day. It's possible to do this and still go to bed full and filled so I say don't let the naysayers get ya down. :)

      I think you should eat just a little more. Losing weight is fine but you want to keep as much muscle as possible. MFP just updated their site so I think the error message may need to be adjusted if it says you're below 1200 but your minimum is actually 1400.

      And you didn't think that was relevant information to include? *pats you on head*

      I didn't figure that out until you said you were going to go test it. That is when I had the light bulb go off and tried it on the website. I posted that giving you credit but again with so many people worrying that I was trying to kill myself it probably got missed. Anyhoo thanks for the help!

      This is most likely true.
