does mfp automatically change your calorie intake when you have lost weight?

    Mine did a few weeks back, when I got to my lowest weight so far.

    I was like, aye??? I had it at 1400 cals, how the hell did it change to 1200 cals?!

    So now I know why.

    You have to go in and update your goals info, I believe.

    I think if you go into goals, and without changing anything, just save it, that it may update.

    I dont know, I asked this same question under the technical support area. My husband has lost 17 lbs and its asked him twice now if he wants to recalculate and each time he';s said yes....but yet his calories havent changed. *shrug*
