I’ve read the MyFitnessPal forums quite a bit, and one of the most popular questions I see is, “Why am I not losing weight?” After some probing, it turns out this person doesn’t accurately measure his or her food and is consuming more calories than intended.
Only you can decide what’s comfortable, but a 1 pound per week loss seems to be pretty standard. How much weight do you have to lose? That can determine how much weight per week you aim to lose. If you’re unsure, you can start with Sedentary and see how you feel. Your activity level setting determines how many calories you get per day Active people get more calories because they burn more, and Sedentary people get less because they don’t move around as much. If you have a desk job or don’t exercise at all, you can probably consider yourself Sedentary.
I’m a stay-at-home mom, but I also exercise 6 days a week so I consider myself Active. You’ll need to make your best guess with your activity level. The two hardest questions to answer are your activity level, and how much weight per week you want to lose. Those are the most important ones entering how often you exercise won’t have any effect on your calories. Enter your starting/current weight, goal weight, height, activity level, and your goal (Lose weight, maintain, gain weight).
Next, you’ll need to answer some questions about yourself in order for the app to calculate your calorie needs.
