Err... it’s how many calories you still have available to eat after all the foods and exercise you’ve logged?13

Are you eating less than your calorie target? If yes, then you may not be able to 'submit' your diary but your info is still saved. Also, you shouldn't be eating less than your target.4

It won't let you save it because you aren't eating enough and this app discourages under-eating. You shouldn't be going below 1200 calories a day.5

It'll be saved, you just can't complete your diary...MFP does not promote VLCDs...it means you are under-eating the minimum requirements for basic nutritional needs.4 -

Do y’all think the calories in the app are very accurate? And if so how many calories a day do y’all eat? Just curious1

its not healthy to eat too little, so the app won't show what you have eaten if it deems it to be too low. and normally gives you a message saying that you are eating too little.
if you log exercise it adds those calories to the food page so you can eat them back if you want (basically)

Remember the movie Cool Hand Luke with Paul Newman? Their was a famous quote “their are some people you just can’t reach “8

Please go back to your other thread and re-read all of the advice that was given to you on how to lose weight safely. You're under-eating. I suggest you see a doctor if the advice given to you here isn't enough to deter you.7

Ok so I do exercise... that’s why it’s adding more for me to eat? And is it necessary to really eat more just because I work out?2 -
