Ok, so sometimes I am a little app stupid. Is there a way to configure my fitness pal to track Protein only? Or is everyone using it at face value and checking the nutritional content???

I use it for everything. It's important to keep track of calories, fat, carbs, and Protein. It all comes into play in weight loss. You're early in the game, but this stuff becomes more important later on.

I wish it tracked grams instead of percentages. The percentages are not useful to me

it does track grams. I saw this a few weeks ago. Just go to your diary... Then click on the little pie chart icon. Then u see a big pie chart with the percents.. Look up in the right corner of the page and you will see another little pie chart icon, right next to that is about four little horizontal lines. Click on that and u can see all your grams of everything. It's verrrrry helpful!

It does. When you go to the nutrition tab it shows the pie graph of %, but there is also a spot that has like a set of long lines followed by a dash ___- (right under the arrow pointing to the right) this will give you the grams break down.

You can also go into GOALS and customize the number of calories, fat, etc you are aiming for each day. While the Protein shows a percentage, as you change it, it shows you the equivalent number of grams, so you can set it that way. :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
