calorie budget decreases daily

[kelseymkauffman]

Is this normal? It will also change the new calorie budget for today (minus 1-2 calories) to the prior days before. Its cutting it close when it does that.. I assume in a month it will say I ate past my budget which isn't the case.

When I say "calorie budget" I'm referring to the amount of calories that the app gives you to eat for the day. Which in my case is very low. When I started using the app which was 5-days ago it gave me a calorie budget of 416 calories. And everyday since the first day I started my calorie budget would decrease by like 40 calories.  Why this is I don't know? So I use my exercise calories that I burn to have more calories to eat for the day since their added to my calorie budget. I don't understand why I'm being given so few calories to eat for the day. It just doesn't make sense to me. Can anyone help me with an answer to this I would appreciate it?

When you guys say "calorie budget" do you mean how many calories left for the day? Some of these numbers sound alarmingly low. Please never eat less than 1200 calories per day

I definitely think there's a glitch somewhere. For example: My calorie budget for the day would say 400 calories, plus when I add my exercise I would gain more calories to eat but would never go over budget. But, the very next day my calorie budget would decrease by (40) calories which I think is a bit much. Giving me less food to eat for the day. I have plugged my weight in each day and it still takes away calories each day and the only way u can gain more calories to eat for the day is by exercising. I agree with the person that says whatever calorie budget your given when u start using the app should remain the same until u reach your goal date. Why does it change each day and for different calorie amounts for different individuals.

Sorry meant to say dropped my weigh in by 1.5kg

[Anne35]

I dropped my calories by 1.5 kg which I lost :) and it added 1300 calories to my daily intake haha I have now jumped from 670 daily intake to over 2000... Bit extreme!! There is defo a glitch in this system...

So I have to plug in my weight daily in order to stop losing calories?

[joujoune]

If your weight stays the same its normal that the cal you can eat decrease as you reach your goal date...

Mine decreased again today to 670 calories, not sure why this is happening... It throws you off course as I'm losing out logging my extra calories to reach the 900 calories! Must be a glitch but I'm not sure who to report it too..

[kelseymkauffman]

Really?!?! I want to know if this is a glitch or not. I plugged in initially that I was 'sedentary' but if I have been doing exercise along with utilizing the calorie budget everyday & it seems rather unhealthy to slash them. Especially for you, since I remember yours was in the 900's. Oh lord.

I've only been on this three days and mine has decreased by over 100 calories a day lol not sure why, I thot the first day would be my amount for the duration of my goal..
