in Getting Started

I've been using MyFitnessPal for years. Recently after finishing cutting I wanted to set my calories up and I noticed I can't. It always resets to what app calculates. I want to change from what it calculates and change percentages for cargs, proteins and fats.

Is this now only allowed in payed version? I use free on.

    I tried this on Android and on Web. Both show that save worked but when I leave goals page/screen and go back it shows old settings. Not what I just set.

    There's a bug in the app at the moment, I believe.

    What works for me is to edit goals from the Home screen, and never go back to the dedicated Goal screen.

    Issue is listed in MFP known Android issue page.

    I believe the reference is to what the Android app calls the dashboard. Towards the upper right there is an "Edit" button, and after you click on that, you can click on edit goals — instead of going to goals in the long list of "more" items.

    We are aware of the problem with goals not saving for Android app users and have created an open bug ticket to investigate the issue further. Our team is actively working to identify the root cause and will aim to resolve it as quickly as possible. Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

    We will post updates on our Known Issues page as they are available. In the meantime, we've found a workaround. 

    1. On the Dashboard (home page) of the app, tap the Edit near the upper right of the page
    2. Tap on Edit Goal that should show on the large nutrient card near the top of the Dashboard
    3. Make changes to your goals as needed and use the back arrow to return to the Dashboard
    4. Tap Done Editing at the bottom of the screen
    5. DO NOT visit the Goal settings via More (•••) in the bottom right. This will reset the goals again and you'll need to repeat the steps
