So I set my calorie goal to maintence when I went on vacation and did enjoy those extra calories. When I came back I went to reset it to a 0.5 lb a week loss and found that MFP said it was already set to the half pound loss. Huh. So I tried setting to maintain and back to loss and both are showing the same daily calorie goal. I don't know which is right.
My stats are 49 yo female
CW:147
GW:140
5'7"
Both are giving me 1870 calories

    Sounds like a bug. Write tech support.

    Ok, I'll try from the website. I've been doing it all from my phone. Hope that does it.

    Definitely through the site. My phone never updates either.

    Yep, using the website fixed it. 1600 cal for loss, 1850 for maintaining. Thanks
