Calorie budget seems low?
Hi everybody,
just got the app today and put in my info and it is giving me a daily goal of 1549 calories. I’m a 33 yo male 6ft 1in and 122kgs.
other calculators are recommending around 1800 calories per day so this seems rather low.
ive adjusted it manually but part of the reason I paid for the premium subscription was to use the smart macros feature so when I enter my own calories this doesn’t work.
is this a know issue or I am I just overestimating my goal?
cheers
rob

When you choose, "lose 2 pounds per week," calories tend to be very low in this app. I calculate my calories half-way between 1-1/2 to 2 pound, the lowest I feel satiated with.

Same issue...so based on macros and calories I put in for 1.5 a week or says 2200 cals but all of the keto plans show like 1300 cals.. definitely need more then that as i lift heavy 5 x a week

To tweak it, in addition to lowering your kilograms-per-week setting, see if raising your activity level helps.

Wow, yeah. I just tried it. Changing my activity level from lightly active to the highest activity level moved my calorie budget from about 1460 to over 2300. So give that a try.
