My fitness pal question

[anniemay 150]

Is there anyway to set the daily goals specific to me? The goals that are automatically in place are way far off my actual targets.

I had to put in 1200 calories to up my Protein. I don't eat that many calories so it always tells me I'm starving myself but I ignore that.

Lol- yup, MFP always said I was near death with my low calories, low carb and low fat diet so stopped using MFP after that. Besides I am not really a tracker. I like to keep post op things ultra simple as life is complicated as is. Stopped tracking after month 1 and never looked back. All turned out fine in the end.

There is a way. You can customize the Protein and calories and fat and carbs and everything else. It needs to be done through their website. When you go to myfitnesspal.com, log in and go to their settings. I don't remember how to do it exactly from there but it's in their FAQ page. That's how I did it

Yes - do it through settings and customize. I can't remember how to do it either but I always just look at the FAQ section - and to be honest I generally have to use google to find it on the MFP website!! I tracked religiously until Christmas and then stopped for several months. I just started back tracking since I am trying to lose my last 10 pounds. I love MFP because it makes me aware of just how much I really am eating. Good luck!
