    53g carbs? Are you calculating macros for keto or some other low-carb eating regime?

    Knowing what calories and percentage ratios you started with will also help others help you.

    That said, MFP has auto-changed my ratios from time to time (I'm sure there's a reason for this that I haven't bothered to look up yet.) In those cases, I just go back in and change 'em back. Since January, it's only happened to me twice.

    That protein goal is crazy high. No wonder you aren't hitting it. Like @maltedtea asked, are you doing keto?

    If not, you need approximately 0.8 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight, 0.35 grams of fat, and you can fill the rest of your calories up with carbs.
