i try to stick to my daily goal. If I hit it perfectly or go a few calories over I get a message I am not eating enough. What's does that mean? Does my daily goal need to be adjusted?

    it means your netting below 1200 which is the minimum required calorie level..which means you need to eat more.

    Do you mean, if you go a few calories UNDER? Is your goal 1200? It's not recommended to eat under 1200 for females, so MFP is set to warn you that you're undereating (I think, I've never seen it).

    If you did mean over, then... I am not sure.

    My daily goal which was set by the app, is under 1200. I now know I've got to adjust upward. Thanks

    What's your calorie allowance?
    Mfp had a glitch where it was setting calories waaaaay too low.

    Man, I hate to think of the number of newbies currently starving because of that glitch :\
