in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
My OBGYN wants me to gain 25 lbs for this pregnancy. Mfp won't let me set my goal for higher than a healthy normal bmi. Is there a way around this? I've gained two pounds so far and am 17 weeks 5 days.

    I've seen a lot of people just track calories as normal and make a mental note of it.
    Congrats on your pregnancy.

    You can set your own custom calorie goals in the 'goals' tab - if you don't know what to set it to, look for a TDEE (your calories needed to live normal daily life) calculator and figure out how much you need to eat above that to gain however much you want.

    If you just want your profile to reflect your goals, then maybe you could put in a different height?
