I'm 5'1' and 9 stone 6 and lightly active, and I would maintain at around the same level as your wife. Now I cannot get my head round this count, I am twice the size of my wife, but we need to eat the same each day according to MFP, that just does not seem right to me, I am personally happy to have 1890 as my daily goal and I find it easy ( ish ) to maintain, but my wife will have to eat the same as me each day, she does not eat the same portions as me a dinner.Ĭan anyone suggest why our goals are the same for such different size body's?Īs I say I am happy with my goals and I find them easy to achieve, but 1890 seems a lot for a women only 8 stone 4, my activity is set at light active, hers at active, so I can understand a bit of a difference there, I suppose the 500 a day saving for me to lose weight is what should be the difference but I don't think she will keep up to 1890 a day. My wife also wanted a profile setting up to help her track food, she is a skinny thing age 40 5'4 weighting 8st 4lbs, we added her goals as to maintain current weight, MFP gave her a daily allowance of 1890 as well. I am a 42 yr old 5'10 male weighing in at 17 st 12lbs. Hope someone can answer this little question, I joined MFP a few years ago and for 12 months used the program and lost weight, I then had a break for awhile but now I am back.I redid all my goals / measurments etc and it gave me a daily count of 1890 calories to eat for me to lose 1lb a week.
