    Just go to goals in the app and tap on "calories and macronutrient goals". Tap on one, all three come up and you can alter them by increments of 5% (in the free version) to most closely resemble the grams you desire.

    In the website/ desktop, click on goals. Use the option other than "guided setup".

    If you want to monitor fiber, I believe that is done in settings. Many choose carbs, fiber, protein, fats and sodium to monitor when eating keto.

    ETA: actually the micronutrients might be on the right side of the GOAL screen on the web version. It's been a long time since I've changed those...

    Right. Choosing your columns is under Settings and then Diary Settings.
    On the web version, micros are on the right side of the screen.
