When to adjust your calories?

Does anyone know when you should adjust your calories for losing weight or does MFP do that automatically?

I was thinking when I lost 5 or 10% of my starting weight???

it gives goals based on the stats you give it. "I weigh X, want to lose Ylbx/week therefore MFP says to eat Z". As you update your progress with weight loss, or if you change your goal to lose per week it will automatically readjust. You can also readjust your intake goal manually should you see fit by adjusting your settings. Hope this helps!

If you ever have the opportunity to do the BodPod Body test, do it! I was eating 1200 calories to lose weight, suggested by MFP. After doing the BodPod, it turns out at a resting rate my body burns 1388 calories per 24 hours (this is if I were to lay in bed for 24 hours). Which meant eating 1200 calories was forcing my body into starvation mode = not losing weight. Therefore, I've adjusted to 1400 calories and am buring body fat like crazy now.

The BodPod gives you a total body analysis based on your body fat %. The first time I got in it, I was pretty upset, but to have the data as baseline is a fantastic resource. Second time around, 4 months later, I've lost 9% body fat and turned 10 pounds of fat into 8 pounds of muscle. Facinating!
