Are Calorie Adjustments Automatic?

Hello!

I was just wondering if calorie adjustments are automatic on My Fitness Pal, so for instance once I have lost weight will it automatically reduce my target to account for that?

    if you have the default mfp calculated values and you checkin a lower weight, then it should auto-adjust the calorie goal

    Mine did not automatically update. I had to do the following steps to get it to update my daily calorie goal:

    Go to "Home"
    Go to "Settings" (blue tab along the top of your home page)
    Go to "Update diet profile" (st of links on the left side, kinda towards bottom of lit)
    Then make sure all information is accurate (has your latest weigh in automatically, change your rate of loss if needed), click "Update" at the bottom.

    Mine hasn't updated automatically, but when I go back into goals as I did in the beginning it will re-adjust then.

    Thank you! I went into the settings as was suggested and it updated. I thought it seemed a little high!

    You are very welcome. It is easy to miss how to update goal total, and it can be terrible to think you are in your limits and yet scale is not moving.
