Calories Burned Target

[Jeighteen]

Hi - new user of Surge.  Somehow (probably user error on my part!) I appear to have a daily target of 4,100 calories.... how is this determined or set?

Hi, @Jeighteen , this is calculated based on your profile settings (gender, age, height and weight) and any weight loss or gain goal you have set. The first thing to check would be your personal settings -- also make sure you check the units (pounds, kilos, stones) are correct. If you have set a weight loss or gain goal you might want to check this too.

Great thanks, found the space on the app to change the targets but the calorie traget wont change (floors, steps targets can change the graphs change too).  I've even set weight loss to "maintain" and it is still showing i need to burn 4,100 clas p/day.  I did (ma be the answer) sign up to premium and use the "trainer" tab - selecting a level of activity so it might be set by this (don't know) but since then when I click the trainer tab now on the site it takes me straight back to the Dashboard.

Am I going round in circles?

The trainer tab will indeed send you back to the dashboard -- you need to complete your first session (I forget if it is one month or six weeks) and then it will reset your trainer goal, or you can reset in the meantime (click on the trainer and then the gear icon)
