One thing I don't understand is how My fitness calculate protein. My daily allowance according to My fitness is 83g. That isn't even 1/2 of what I should be getting at 185lb. From all I have read it's a 1 to 1 tactical. Now I am over 30% body fat so I am figuring 0.8 would be closer. That puts me at around 166g.

I believe MFP sets the macro goals at the USDA EAR (for legal reasons). You can go in and change the settings, they're not set in stone.1

OK that makes sense. Tried to change it but I'm using the free version so can't make any changes like that. I'M just going by the totals that it list.1

Def go in and change it... Just change the percentages... I had to change mine too. Also remember anytime you reset goals you have to change it again. Just a heads up.0

You can change the percentages with the free version. I have mine set at 30%.1
