in Goal: Maintaining Weight
I reached my goal weight recently, so I changed my goal in MFP to "maintain current weight" instead of "lose 1 pound per week". I click save, but my daily calorie goal in my diary hasn't changed. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    Mine isn't updating either, is there someone we can contact? Seems like a bug. I've tried to do it on the app and online.

    Definitely sounds like a bug. Contact them. They just pushed out the new site - this sounds like a problem in the update.

    I had the same problem and had to manually change it under the Goal section.

    Same here. I manually changed it in the Goal section and that didn't even update the Goal on the Homepage.

    I had to change it to a different number and save it...then change it back to what it was supposed to be and save it before it changed on my homepage.

    I'm having the same issue. I try to update my calories every week after I weigh in, and when I tried today it's not updating the calorie goal.

    I think there is a problem, because today I cannot sync my info from my fitbit to myfitnesspal... The number of steps, calories etc. are not updated! :(

    lets bump this, it is so annoying! one of the biggest things MFP has to offer is its calorie count, and if it does not reflect our goals, then the app slowly becomes less reliable!!

    Me too. Both website and android app are not displaying correct calorie goal. Oddly enough, the widget has the correct remaining calories but then we I go in the app it's wrong. PLEASE fix.

    I'm seeing the same (or at least similar) issue in iOS. One calorie goal on the App Home screen, and a different number online and in the diary page. Home screen calories remaining are calculated off the wrong calorie goal, but it's right online and in the diary page.

    I think I see what is happening: The calorie goal on the app home screen is based off what myfitnesspal calculates from profile data. If you use a custom calorie goal in settings, the app home screen ignores the custom calorie goal, but the custom calorie goal is used on the diary page and the web interface. What's the best way to get this feedback info to support?

    Yep, I get a new goal every day that is not remotely close to my own goal. It's either around 1600 or 1870kcal, while my goal is 1700 :s They should really fix this bug.

    It would be nice to get an estimated eta on this fix, or at least some sort of update. It's extremely frustrating.

    Updates to the linked help article…

    http://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1971859--members-are-seeing-problems-with-their-calorie-goals"-

    …indicate that some issues related to this were fixed on May 20 and May 23 - but the issue remains for me. There's a link at the bottom of the article to contact support. I've sent my feedback, and would encourage others affected to do so as well. I agree that this bug is particularly frustrating.
