    Your goals change to factor in your nutritional needs for your workouts. When you log a workout, the goals will change depending on how much exercise you log.

    They aren't changing per se. What the app does is set a certain calorie limit assuming that you will not exercise. When you exercise, you earn calories which it adds on to your base calorie limit. You aren't doing anything wrong.

    Your calories earned from exercise are added to your daily calorie goals. If your calorie goal is 1200 and you burn 200 calories exercising then your daily calorie goal will change to 1400. If you Don't want it to change then Don't log your exercise. You Don't have to eat more just because you exercise./ Cindy

    I dont know, mine do it too and its really frustrating. I dont log my workouts so that cant be it, and I have premium so I set them to an exact gram as a goal. I also have it set to not add my workout calories into my food, even though I dont even log workouts. If you find the fix, let me know too.

    Ok try this, I had it fixed but it seemed to change back.

    Go to settings. -> Goals -> Fitness -> Exercise calories should be OFF. Turn it off if it is ON. ->Save
