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…

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…

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)

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…

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?

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,…

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…

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…
