Just began using myfitnesspal when I put my info in such as height, weight, goal weight it asked how much I wanted to lose in a week I put 2 lbs as that was the max the part that confuses me is that it says I need to eat 1740 calories per day this is way too much today I have eaten 440 and exercised which according to the app I burned 880 calories so it's telling me I now have 2100 calories to eat

Ignore that part! Adjust the Protein and carbs to what you are supposed to be getting. I was thought I got to eat more when I was using that app at first also. Part of the reason I actually gained weight. My Nut said ignore and ignore when it says you haven't had enough calories. It's good for tracking and keeping a log but not intended for bariatric patients

Those of us who have bariatric surgery can pay no attention to what MFP tells you. I use is simply to track what i eat and where i am at but dont count on it to tell you what your intake should be.

Follow your doctors plan for that and my fitness pal will provide awesome tracking.

I recommend subscribing for a year, as it's only $50 and you can micromanage your settings at that point.

I've found it to be VERY useful.

Plus, $50 for the year is much better than paying $10 a month and paying $70 than you should have to.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
