MFP calorie recommendation

When does MFP change your calorie intake recommendation? I have a 90 pound loss goal, and I've lost 32 pounds so far. I started with 1550 calories, and it hasn't changed. I feel like I should have had a calorie intake decrease by now. Anyone know how it works?

    Mine has never changed on its own. I have to re-run the guided set up every time i drop ~10 lbs to get it lower.

    It should have prompted you to change after losing 10 pounds. On the website, go to Settings --> Update Diet/Fitness Profile.

    For me on my Android, if you change your weight in the progress section, it will not adjust your calorie goal. However, if I change my current weight in my goals section, it will update my calorie goal. For me, it decreases it about 10 calories every two pounds right now.

    Ok thanks! Going into Goals instead of progress worked. I'm down to 1400 now. Thanks!
