MFP added more calories to my daily allotment

I went from 2020 calories allowed to 1960 calories, presumably due to some weight loss, and have held at 1960 for about a week, now when I log in, it says I have 2450 calories. I haven't added in any exercise or changed my activity level, and when I roll backwards it appears that the allotment has been changed on all my previous days as well. Anyone else having this issue or know why I would suddenly get more calories a day?

    Reset your goals on the website


    Sounds like a glitch

    Nope still at 2 pounds a week, I checked that when I checked if my activity level changed.

    Just reset my goal, and it said 1940 calories a day, then back on my homepage it still says 2450. I guess it's not that big of a deal because I'm not going to start eating an extra meals worth of calories just because it says to, I'm generally eating between 1200-1500 calories a day anyhow, but it just perplexes me as to why it is displaying so many calories.

    Agg, I'm presuming you are a male of at least average height... that is way too low! (sorry for the unsolicited advice, but there you go).

    Have you exercised today? It will have gone up if you've added exercise.

    I am, and I know it is too low, I'm cleaning up my diet quite a bit, which means more veggies and other nutrient packed foods that are low in calories, so I'm getting full with not very many calories. So for now, I'm focusing on eating mindfully, eating healthier options, and stopping when I feel full. I've only been doing this for about two weeks, and my plan is to slowly build healthier eating habits, and once that becomes more the norm, I'll work on balancing my calories and macros a bit more. For me personally, I've noticed in the past if I try to do all the things at once, ie. the perfect diet, exercise, sleep, etc. I tend to fail pretty fast, so one thing at a time for right now. Thank you for your concern, and I will get to the correct amount eventually, probably in the next few weeks.

    This happened to me this morning also. I changed my activity level to active, waited for it to update, then changed it back to sedentary. It went back to my original calorie goal. Just a glich, I guess.

    I have this problem as well! I haven't changed anything but I have about 100 cals less on my diary but my goal says 1200. It's been like this for almost 2 weeks now.
