Yes, thanks.

I’m trying to keep my daily intake under 1300 and burn 500 on my Apple Watch.

Have you found out what your basal rate is?
1300 is low calorie count. 1200 is like the very very low end for woman for healthy survival. 1300 is pretty dam close to that very low end and then burning 500 puts you at a daily net of 800. That is risky. Has your advised this?

Not trying to be a jerk, but please do more research and/or get professional guidance.

You are not coming off as a jerk and I appreciate the advice. I’m going by my LoseIt calorie goal. If I can eat more, I would be thrilled to eat more!

I’m trying to make sense of how my Apple Watch calorie move goal fits into my weight loss goal of 1 pound a week. My Lose It! calorie budget does adjust and credit back calories, if that makes sense.

I would change the LoseIt option of adding back calories. Once I turned that off, I started to lose weight. I also set it to allow more calories on weekends, because as a family we tend to eat foods for brunch or lunch that I don’t eat on my own during the week.

Do you know where that option is because I went in and didn’t see it. I also use the free version. Is that something I have to sign up for to remove that future.

I actually just recently to the annual plan. The calorie option used to be a universal setting way back when I first used the app years ago, but I think the only way to do it now is this which I find super annoying: https://help.loseit.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024759713-How-to-Log-Exercise-Without-Adding-Calorie-Burn-to-Your-Log
