Calorie goal

I wanna give up. I love eating, I don't like walking
Ugh, and the numbers game with my calories and macros is annoying. I'll admit in my previous routine sometimes I ate badly because I am a foodie. However in this new phase of losing weight (again) my eating is very healthy. I have minimal adjustments I have to make with regards to getting rid of unhealthy snacks or candy.…
Dazed and Confused on Caloric intake
Hello, My Fitness Pal recommends a calorie intake is 1700/day. I do Orange Theory every other day burning about 600 calories per session (according to their program). 1st question: Is the 1700 caloric intake a day already a calorie deficiency or just what I need to sustain. 2nd question: Why do I get a new set of calories…
How do I change my calorie goal as it won't let me edit it in GOALS
I have been off MFP for a while as it's been a tough couple years, I lost my hubby a little over 2y ago and I really let things slide badly, but things are starting to get better even if a little stressful as I have to move in the next few months and I recently became a Great Nan to a beautiful little girl, so I'm…
Not logging daily
Hi. I’m trying to reach a 1600 calorie count per day. However, many days my mood isn’t great and I might not reach a minimum of 2200 cals for a man. Please allow or explain how I can - finish the daily meal accountability even below the threshold. I’m paying premium and am upset that I cannot input whatever I desire.…
How do Net Calories work?
Hii I'm new to the site and still getting a feel for how everything is calculated and set up, and though I've grasped the basics of the Net Calorie calculator, there's something I don't quite get. For example, my net calorie goal is 1,200. If my calculator ends up looking something like this; 0 (food) - 50 (exercise) = -50…
Why have I been given 3000 calories per day?
I just bought the annual subscription and entered my biometric data. I also specified that I want to lose 2 pounds per week The app is now saying I have a 3000 cal goal. I understand that means I can eat 3000 cal plus whatever I burn in exercise. This makes absolutely no sense, since my base metabolic rate is 2300 calories…
Calories
How many calories should I be consuming in a day as a 28 year old female?
Am I in a deficit
Hi can someone help? If my maintenance calories is 1400 and I usually eat 1200 calories daily, but burn 200-300 daily, would I be in a deficit? (I know eating 1200 calories is seen as bad, but I am a short person and don’t usually get hungrier than that)

I am a woman in my late 20s. I'm looking for an accountability partner to check in with at the end of the day to make sure we both reached our goals for the day. Send me a message if you are interested. I am on EST time.
Calorie deficit #sufferingsquad
Just a place to rant about wanting food that we cannot have ✌️
How do you manage days where you are more hungry?
Today's workout at the gym was intense. I do not trust the calorie burn indicator on the watch and eat the same amount of calories (1600) no matter my physical exercise. However today I feel extra hungry, and I only have 392 calories left for dinner which is in about an hour or so. What advice do yall have? Should I eat…
How can I go over my calories but not yet meet all of my macros?
I still have a few macros left for the day but it says I am over my calories by 139. How can this be? Thank you!
I could use some help in figuring out best macro's and Calorie limit for weight loss
Hello Looking for some guidance because I have some hefty weight loss goals . I am at my heaviest I have ever been , 208 lbs. I am recovering from a third surgery in the past 9 months. Two were emergency , medically necessary (and related) , the third was to repair a long time knee issue that was keeping me from getting…
My basal metabolic rate is 1238. My workout burns approx 400 calories. Will I lose weight?
On a 1900 calorie diet? When I adjust my protein fat and carbs goal myfitnesspal tells me to eat 1900 calories. With my exercise burn it's gone up to about 2300 calories. Will I still lose weight with this deficit?
When trying to be on a calorie deficit
And then you exercise, are you meant to up your calorie intake or eat the same as you would if you haven’t exercised?
Huel Black- opinions?
Hey fitness community! I've been considering using Huel for a while to have for my daily lunch. I have previously had a meat salad in warmer months and soup during colder months, but a friend talked me into looking at Huel as an alternative and after some research it had me intrigued. I tried a bottle of the ready made…
For weight loss, do you eat back the calories you've burned?
I've heard mixed answers before and was wondering what the general consensus is.
Weight fluctuation is it normal?
As the title indicates i've had some weight fluctuations during my calorie deficit. Last week or two has been a bit up and down although calorie deficit has been pretty consistent between 1300-1500 calorie intake, where i've been up down +-1KG For more context Age: 30 Gender: Male Height: 168CM (5ft'6) started 28/02/24 -…
Help!! Calories Goal too high??
Hya, I am not sure how to get help with this .. I am overweight and trying to lose weight but exercising at same time.. I was talking to my coach today and he mentioned that I should be having around 360g of carbs, 150g Protein and 90g of fat per day. And I should be in the region of 2000 calories a day. When I try to set…
Back to discipline.
Being overweight has never been what I wanted. I have high expectations, but I’ve been making too many excuses. If you would like to join me on a run or workout let me know. I can provide a safe, secure, comfortable environment to any males/females that avoid running because of unknown dangers. I’m a former combat Marine,…
New Journey!
Hello everyone! I’m 28 and this is my first time ever tracking what I eat. So far it has been eye opening to see what I’m actually putting to my body. My diet at this point as been pretty consistent eating “Tiffany Plates” everyday. What are your suggestions to stay motivated on a calorie deficit?? Thank you guys so much!
How do you decide how many calories or macros?
So I see that you can go on and plug in your weight age and things like that and it’ll say here or use this many calories. And you can do the same to get your macros. I can’t help thinking that that is not specific to a person so to speak. I wanted to be able to do keto, but it doesn’t work out well for me as I don’t have…
Can MFP not include passive (total Cal’s burned) into your Calories Remaining? It’s such a faff on 🙈
Apologies if this has been asked many times, but having recently transitioned from a Fitbit to an Apple Watch and MFP I’m really struggling with MFP seemingly only accounting for food and calories burned by exercise, which surely is a pointless calculation? I want to know a total of what I’ve burned (regardless of if it’s…
Being disciplined is so hard
I do good with my diet for maybe a day or two and then suddenly I just can't hold back and have a bunch of small snacks that quickly add up and suddenly I'm 200+ over my calorie goal, any tips would be appreciated 🤧
Setting the right Calorie Goal, im sure asking for the 1234532th time
HI!! I'm pretty confused about having the app set the right calorie goal for me... I have read a bunch of posts and done some research and my BMR says that i should be eating around 1500 cal a day for weight loss. My understanding is BMR is your sedentary state, so when my fitness pal shows i should be eating 1290 its a…
