Calories & targets
Why does my calorie target seem too high?
Turtle sets a starting target from your profile and goal, then checks real trend data in Check-in V2. A target that feels generous can still be a deficit; do not slash it after one day or one scale reading.
What to do
- 1
Check that your current weight, goal and activity details are correct.
- 2
Log honestly and give the target a full check-in week where possible.
- 3
Complete Check-in V2 when it is due; Turtle reviews your trend and can propose safer target changes.
- 4
If the number still looks clearly wrong, contact nutrition support rather than making a large cut yourself.
