Hi I am 8 days post op I am journaling on MFP. Can someone please tell me if I can change the calorie intake as well as the Protein intake on it? As well how to do it if it's possible. Thanks!

Under my home, select 'goals', click change goals, select custom and renter the info you want.

Unfortunately they the the protein/carb/fat as a ratio of your calories so you have to play with the numbers to get the desired Protein goal.

Also, if you enter your workouts there, they will add those exercise calories back into your total so you will only 'net' your allowance. That will skew your goal of getting X grams of Protein a day but it's better than nothing in my opinion.

Oh if you don't like the skewing from exercises you can change the calorie count to just 1 calorie. That way you still track the time but it won't skew your goals.

Oh one more thing that I recently learned as well -
Select food, then Settings.

You can customize things more. Default is Breakfast, lunch, dinner and Snacks. You can change it to be Breakfast, Morning snack, lunch, Afternoon Snack, dinner, and Evening Snack. I've added times so there's no guessing as well. I don't always snack, but I hate how it's all lumped into one account.

My username here is the same on that app if you want to add me :)
