change my "suggested" nutritional requirements?
I'm following a macros diet and would find it much more helpful if I could manually adjust more than just my calories. Is this possible and I'm just not seeing it anywhere?

Hi y'all! I'm looking for people who want to connect on MFP and stay motivated through encouragement, cheering, advice and so on!

Is it all about the net? Can I walk so that I can eat?
I don't have time nor the desire for a complex diet and I am too cheap to use a diet service such as Weigh Watchers or Nutrisystems. I do like goals, numbers, and technology so MFP seems to be a great fit for me. Is it fair to say that in order to loose weight it's all about net calories...no more or less complicated than…
