Love using MFP to track what I'm eating but am still a bit confused as to how to set my daily goal values. The doctor wants me to have 30 grams of carbs (or less) so I set that number at 15% and MFP set my daily calories to 800. Then I get a message that I'm eating too few calories.

How are your numbers set? Or do you just ignore the message and number of calories?

I just ignore the message.

not sure where you are at...but my nutritionist wants me to eat 1200 calories a day, but I suppose that varies with providers...but to make changes here is what you do:

1. go to goals

2. change goals

3. change to custom

4. you can change anything you want to there

Hope that is what you are looking for...best wishes to ya darlin'!

Mine tells me the same thing everyday. I eat anywhere from 900-1000 calories a day as per orders. So I just ignore that when it comes up. Best of luck to you.

I ignore that message also....... Some days too few, some days too many, some days right on target....... It's LIFE!

I've been ignoring the message like you guys. Thanks for the advice.

I have been using the app called "Lose it" which seems to better integrate with Apple Health Kit. Apple health is a database that is included with IOS, apple's built in software. The advantage of Apple Health integration is that the apple watch and other step and exercise data are automatically fed into the app. Plus any other app that queries the Apple Health Kit database can pull up your nutrition intake that you have entered into Loose It. This app has a bar code scanner and has a huge database of products. Really easy to log food intake, set weight goals and monitor calorie consumption and burn levels.
