Can you change settings on myfitnesspal for low carb diet?

@-moz-document domain("myfitnesspal.com") {
    .energy-remaining-number, .energy-calculation {
        display: none !important;
    }
    .user-info {
        width: 250px !important;
    }
    .user-info class:col-2 {
        width: 120px !important;
        display: inline-block !important;
    }
    td:nth-child(2) {
        display: none
    }
    .user-weight-checkin-container {
        width: 120px !important;
        display: inline-block !important;
        vertical-align: top !important;
        padding-left: 10px !important;
    }
    .summary-info {
        width: 300px !important;
    }
}

I got it working by adding

    td:nth-child(2) {
        display: none
    }

to the original script on the github. It might actually be all you need to do. But, I haven't played around with making it simpler.

This is a very cut-down, very simple, stylish sheet that seems to work on firefox

First, install Stylish.
Second, click on the new icon.
Third, click on the three dots,
Fourth, select "Create new style"
Fifth, copy and paste the code below into the style box.

@-moz-document url-prefix("http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary"), url-prefix("https://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary"){
    td:nth-child(2) {
        display: none
    }
}

Sixth, give it a name and click save.

That should be it. Google chrome should be a similar process (according to what I have read)... except you really only need the 3 lines starting with td:nth-child(2) {... and it will ask what site it applies for when it is set up.

Here is what it looks like for me.

That doesn't look any different than the standard screen. Looks like mine so far as macros/micros. Carbs and fiber both show up if you choose them in settings even without installing the script.

Examples I've seen elsewhere with a script installed have a colum titled "Net Carbs".

It is really unnecessary. Just select both carbs and fiber in settings and mentally subtract. <Shrug.>

I think it is good to tell people who starting Keto to track calorie intake not just carb. It is very easy to eat more calorie than you think with fat. Not everyone has a 2000+ calorie goal, for a short female like me tracking overall intake is important. Also, people became fat because they no longer know when to stop eating, even though cutting out carb reduce your appetite naturally, some people still over eat due to other reason like stress. I had seen people saying Keto don't work and they even gained weight because they did not track. I much prefer people all starting Keto tracking very carefully and they can stop tracking once they are more knowledge about their food and their body.

It has nothing to do with carb or fiber. No calories shown.

I take the other route, as I have posted many times in the past, and I strongly urge people to not calorie count/restrict during the keto adaptation phase. They could always add counting later, but it is harder to go from counting to not counting than the other way. Once you have it in your head that you need to count, it is a hard beast to get out.

I have heard all the arguments against this one. Many years ago, we even did an ad libitum challenge to address the many different concerns people had (age, gender, size, etc.) and most people were successful with it.

All that said, if you think calorie counting is necessary or is important to you, keep doing it. It doesn't hurt any one else. We all get to pick out own path.

Ah, Gotcha! Thanks. Guess that means that while I talk calories, I must watch macros more. Or at least know that in the end, one equals the other if calculated out. Didn't even notice calories weren't there.

LOL, that link is too confusing.... I just ignored the calories and watched the carb g and protein g when I logged/'counted'.

@nvmomketo nice links and videos. I've seen a couple other people doing self-experimentation like that with high calorie and low carb with similar results.
