Please can someone explain the macronutrients target?

SarahSim2

I have used Cronometer's targets, but I have now reached my goals and I want to increase my daily calorie intake. So I have set my calories to a minimum of 1500 and a maximum of 1800. However when I look at the diary it is showing 1305 calories burned. How do I get it to show a different number? Psychologically, it is making me feel bad, when I see the remaining with a 'over!' I know I am fine, but that sense of fulfilment, ticking that box is not there

Have you changed your BMR and Activity Level to "custom" yet? You can find the settings here:

Web app -> Settings -> Profile -> Body Details section
Phone app -> Settings -> scroll down to BMR and Activity Level

Are you able to override that 1305 burned to the values you set there?

Sorry, missed a screenshot. This is the one that is getting to me.

Thank you. Yes, this changes that figure. I will check out the website to find out how to set BMR again.

You can also change your weight goal. Use the weight goal to increase, decrease or maintain weight.

If you are using the weight goal feature, be sure to toggle ON "Show weight goal".
