It’s being a tad condescending. I’m going for 800 calories give or take for as long as it takes to drop the ten pounds to put me into the ‘stinkingly healthy’ category. Yet I CANNOT end a day without it telling me I’m not eating enough and attempting to add all the extra calories I burned from exercise into my food diary.

I know. I get it. It’s meant to stop people with anorexia, but grrrr.

No ‘diet’ calculator goes as low as 800, I use Sparkpeople and it tells me off for eating too many fats or proteins and not enough carbs, says my brain cannot work properly without carbs. If I do lower than 1200 cals it recalculates my exercise plan. Same when I do lots of exercise it tells me to eat more. These are machines, we are people, use it for what you want, just don’t let it tell you what to do.

Ah I’m glad it’s not just me. Thank you!
