    in general higher protein diets than "standard" help weight loss - let's say 35% protein. Add to that 25% fats and you're left with 40% carbs. You can set this in custom goals.

    If you were going for low carb then 100g / 400 calories or about 30-35% of your calories would be carbs, with consequently more fat to make it add up to 100.

    Also, don't worry if you lose 3-4 lb then gain one, it's pretty normal. Just keep doing what you're doing and be patient.
