anyone know if you can set the weekly goal to gain more than 1 pound per week? Pregnant with triplets and need to gain more!

    The calculator is rarely accurate as peoples bodies are different and the way they count calories are different. Just eat a lot (whilst tracking) and adjust your goal manually depending on how fast you gain.

    Good luck with your kids!

    I had to eat way over what mfp set in order to gain 1lb a week. Set it to gain 1lb and just keep tracking. Good luck with the pregnancy!Rest as much as you can!

    How much do you need to gain? (And why?)
