It always uses that 1200 as a baseline, even if you really only would need 800 to account for your goal loss. This is especially the case if you are already at the minimum number of calories it allows for in a day, which I think is 1200. Also, depending on what apps you’ve synced with it, it overestimates you’re calories burned. I’ve lost 45 on MFP, but I think this is really a tripping point with it. On noom, I might burn 400 calories, but I'm only given an additional 200 to eat. A long walk could have burned 600 calories, but if I ate 600 more calories, I lost nothing. What I do like about noom is it only gives you half the calories extra for the day that you've burned in exericse. But I think my biggest change is that I'm home and can plan and cook my meals each day. It's helpful with the daily reminders and accountability.
