in Health and Weight Loss
Hello. I have been working to get down to my goal weight since March 2024.

Currently I have lost almost 60lbs, but still have around another 60 to go.

For the last month or so, MFP has told me that my daily calorie intake should be about 1,370 cal, but today, when I changed my weight indicating I have lost 4 lbs, my new calorie intake says it should be 1,600 cals.

Not sure what happened there as every other setting is the same (trying to lose 1.5lb/week) since I’ve started this journey.

Did I do something wrong? Is there a glitch? Did MFP update and now had more accurate info?

Please help with this!

Thanks!

    If you're still losing at the previous amount don't change anything don't rely on this app or any other app to be accurate all the time, adding calories will not cause more fat loss

    I see two options:
    - you changed your activity level setting without realising it?
    - it could be a bug (especially since I've seen a few people report an unexpected increase in their calorie goal)
