[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, MFP has a section to factor in exercise, so she may be entering in 1500 as her base number of calories, but if she adds "ran for 2 hours," it will automatically add to her calorie allowance for the day.  If she is adding as she goes, 1500 seems like a reasonable baseline.  If she is not entering in exercise, then it may be a problem.  I would check her diary to see if she has exercise factored in, and if not, I would bring it up.[/quote]

This was my thought. MFP came out after I finished college track, but I was still running. I set it to 1250 calories, but got an extra 400-800 each day from my runs. I wouldn't worry about it. She's in a sport where if she isn't taking in enough, you will see it. She won't be able to maintain or improve times and she will eventually pass out in practice or a meet.

More important though, why are you saying it's for cross country when that is a fall sport? Are you not aware of what she's running?[/quote]

Op clearly started when it started a few months ago that was her DDs reasoning...March minus 4-5 months = fall! [/quote]
