Is there any reason why it won't let me manually enter what macros I want? I know what I want them to be.

    You can manually set your macro goals by going to home - set goals - select to manually enter your goal

    This takes you to a page with a large table of all your nutrients. For the macros it will only allow you to adjust the percentages in the drop down boxes and then will do the calculation itself. It is a little odd that you can't just type what you want in the box but you can get there with the percentages. (note- to actually see the grams change you have to hit save after you change the percentages)
