Need to allow custom calorie intake below 1400
Simply give the option for custom calories below 1400 as some people need them

Many clients who are small or have had gastric sleeve surgery need plans with caloric intake below 1400. We need this changed to a minimum of 1200. This is even based on NASM.

I have clients whose total daily expenditure is 1400 or below. For them to lose fat at least 0.5lb a week , they have to be on a 250-300 cal deficit. please allow custom calorie intake at least 1200.

This needs to change. So many of my clients are smaller, older females. They can't even fathom consuming 1400 calories.

For a small in size person, 1400 is too much

Allow meal planner to be available for less than 1400 calories. Some people have a blunted BMR and therefore require fewer calories to lose weight and the meal planner only activates on 1400+

We have Bariatric clients who have been prescribed a calorie intake below 1400 by their surgeon and medical team. This is critical for us as they cannot use the feature currently.

YES, I agree with this. Although I don't believe anyone should be consuming under 1400 calories per day.. the fact of the matter is that some clients are coming to us initially in a calorie deficit / weight loss resistance and we need to be able to start them lower to reverse diet and increase their calorie intake over time. This feature is needed.

For smaller clients (5'1 and under) who are trying to lose weight, a 1400 daily calorie plan may be too much to facilitate weight loss since it will likely be very close to maintenance calories. Adjusting the portion sizes or creating recipes that allow the total daily intake to go down as low as 1100 or 1200 calories would make it more customizable for people who are shorter/smaller

I've not been using the Add-On 'Smart Meal Planner' feature long but already I've needed to subscribe to 'EatThisMuch' just so I can offer the nutritional customisation clients require.
I can't afford both so unless the 'Smart Meal Planner' increases the calorie range to e.g. 1,000 - 5000kcals and adds more macro splits i'll be cancelling it and using the other site instead.

I'd also like to see a 2 meal a day option as more and more people are intermittent fasting and no longer eat 3 meals per day.

This is critical for clients, particularly women with sedentary jobs. Some people woth weight-loss goals may even gain weight at 1400c. Please bring the lower threshold down to 1000c.

If your client is eating below 1400 they shouldn't be seeing you they should be seeing an actual doctor and licensed and board-certified dietician/nutritionist.

I have clients that cant consume 1400 calories. Especially if they are in a very specific goals. I have a lot of competitors, bikini and beach models. Certain people need a bit lower. If we can set the lower point closer to 1,000 calories this will be super helpful.
I have other cases where clients only used to eat ones per day. Now they are making improvements by eating 2-3 but they still cant get near 1,000. And they get very discourage by the meal plan only being set at 1400 calories. It will be a good option to have it under for just the few who need it.
