My Fitness Pal - carbs?

[drmeow 323]

I used to use Fatsecret to log my food when I was doing Atkins. But I have a Fitbit now and I've seen lots of people on here loving MFP, so I downloaded it to use, since it syncs with the fitbit.

But, in Fatsecret I was able to have it show net carbs, not just total carbs. Total carbs minus g of Fiber = net carbs. Also, I'd like to be able to manually adjust my calorie and carb goals and I don't see that available without paying the huge upgrade fees. I wouldn't mind paying something for it but not that much.

Am I just missing something somewhere?

Yes you can change your calories and such. Go to "goals" then under "nutrition goals" goto "calorie and micronutrients goals".

Thanks, I was able to change the percents in Goals now. I don't think it has any way to track net carbs, though. I guess I can just manual calculate that by subtracting fiber g.

i use the log and tracker on Fitbit.com , its easier for me and it does keep good track most of the time.

There are many things that drive me crazy about MFP.
