I’m a bariatric patient and suffer malabsorption. Due to this I loose weight at higher rate and app increases my daily calorie intake to slow down weight loss. How can I make adjustments?

Hi Pracus,
Welcome to MyNetDiary!
Yes, having had weight loss surgery, your nutrition and weight loss goals are different than standard calculations. It is important to go by the goals given by your weight loss surgery team.
You can adjust your calorie budget under "My Plan" and override the goal suggested by MyNetDiary calculations. If you are using the Premium version of the app, make sure to turn off "AutoPilot" in the Plan section.
One of my colleagues wrote this great article about weight loss surgery and tracking- hope it is helpful to you!
