NHS weight loss app, how do I change the daily calorie target?

I can't work out how to change my calorie target. It was automatically set at 2000 but I want to reduce it. I've done it before but my phone messed up and deleted some apps....and now my meno-brain can't remember how to change the calorie target.😳

When I go to settings to change calorie target, it just gives me the BMI screen but there's nothing I can click on within that screen to change my calorie target:

I've just looked at mine and on the page you have screenshot, if you scroll down to the bottom you should see the calorie slider.

I think you can only change the calories target when you are not in the healthy BMI range. As soon as I got below 25 BMI, it automatically reverts to the standard 2000 allowance

Oh no, that's annoying! I guess it's good that I've just slipped into the healthy section, so I suppose I just need to monitor it manually.

Seems a bit silly as the only reason I've lost a bit is because I was aiming for 1600 so I won't lose anymore if I eat 2000.😂
