This app works for losing, gaining, or maintaining weight.
The numbers suggested are a starting point. Start logging your food and gathering your own data about what you weigh when you follow MFP's suggestions. If you don't gain at the expected rate, bump up your calorie intake a bit after a month or so.0 -
