Resolving Autopilot Issues: Calorie Budget Below BMR

If Advanced Autopilot shows an error that the calorie budget is less than BMR, the budget field is greyed out, and you cannot save, try these fixes. Set a slower weekly weight loss rate. Check that your activity level matches your routine. Or disable Advanced Autopilot, set your calorie budget above BMR, then re-enable it. Updating the app also helps.
