How do you use mfp?

Wondering how this group uses mfp ....to track calories, macros or both?? I am stalled in my weight loss (only have 10 to lose) and have been charting to track nutrients and macros. I monitor sugar below 25g (most days) and carbs 75g or less (below 25%). The rest I let be as the day goes. Right now % are 25/45/30 (carbs, fat , protein). I usually stay within those %, but calories higher bc I work out and mfp adds it back in. I usually do not use all alloted....
I know Paleo doesn't worry about calories but wondering if that's something I should monitor more to jump start something.

I used to use it for macros, not so much anymore. I guess it's great for tracking sugar intake and making sure carbs arn't too out of control. I'm a dairy drinking Paleo, its modified I guess. Love it so far, but I'm trying to gain, not lose.0

I still track everything, mainly to keep myself on track. I also my activity, because I also believe at the end of the day, it comes down to calories in vs calories out.0

I am trying to gain weight, but I have to stick with low carb as well. I track everything, but pay closer attention to carbs, iron, and calcium levels for health reasons.0
