How do you keep the carb fat protein percentage and calorie count the same daily

How do you keep the carb fat protein percentage and calorie count the same daily?
So I set my goals for 30%f/40%p/30%c and a calorie of 2000 but when I check for the next day if the values will stay the same but it doesn’t. It reverts back to default for those days

    I try my best but it's very hard to do unless you eat the same thing at every meal and day or if you are very meticulous about your macros. Just do the best you can because if will not make that much of a difference while try to lose.

    I don't even try but I expect the ratio of my macros average out over a week time frame. I eat for health and taste until I get full at this point in life so it is not a tight numbers game in my case. With that being said I do weigh daily but that is mainly to gauge overnight urine output but it does compute my net CICO results. We each can just work to find a WOE that gives us our desired results and that can greatly vary from person to person.

    I believe the OP is asking about MFP defaulting back to its values rather than keeping OPs settings.

    Well the question is not very clear, so two of us gave him/her more or less the same reply. Maybe if the OP can be is more specific with the question, we could be more helpful :)

    How do you get MFP to save your macro goals from one day to the next?

    I thought the question was very clear. OP wants to stop MFP from going back to default macro and calorie settings. How could you read it any other way?

    Eh, I thought it was pretty clear by the time you got to the end of it. I'd be more helpful but I don't know the answer to OPs question, but have seen it mentioned before - it might just be a bug.

    OP - are you using a custom calorie setting? Daily calorie setting? Premium?

    @Alatariel75 and @mkdwyer76

    Thank you for the clarification but since I use the web not the app, I don't have any problems with my macros or calories changing from one day to the other. I set both the way I want them, and they stay that way until I change them.That's the reason why the OP question didn't make any sense to me.

    A lot of people reply to the subject line without reading the post.
