Does MFP automatically recalculate?

When you enter your weight to "check-in" here, does MFP automatically recalculate your daily calorie allotment based on the new weight, or do you have to go through and redo your goals to get the new amount?

    I have found that I have to redo my goals. For me that means doing the guided goalsetting and then changing carb/protein/fat via "custom goals".

    It will ask you every ten pounds if you want to recalculate your goals.

    yep - it asks me every 10lbs if I want to recalculate. if I want to do it sooner I'll manually do it. but every 10lbs seems to work for me!

    I guess I don't tend to wait for the ten!

    Every single time I've "weighed in" here, MFP has recalculated my daily calorie goal. Am I doing something wrong? I started at 1460 calories, then it dropped down to 1400, and now 1390 with my most recent weigh-in.
