MFP and IIFYM

PunkyDucky

Hi guys, I'm new here and i've searched this board up and down and have gotten a lot of good info on IIFYM, but trying to get it to work with MFP is really difficult in terms of setting goals and inputting meals without the percentages/numbers changing up on me.

I haven't logged anything into yet but been playing around with things..Can someone please look at my profile and tell me if things look okay, and what to do when the numbers change up. I'd like to lose about 2 lbs a week.
Here are my stats for quick viewing:
Height: 5'5
Weight: 219lbs
I'd like to lose 75+ pounds

I input all of this info into the www.iifym.com/calculator
and i got this

BMR: 1731
TDEE: 2532

Calories: 2026
Protein: 219g
Fat: 76.6g
Carbs: 115g
Fiber: 44-55g

I try to place these numbers in MFP and it just does what it wants..plus it shows me i'd be only losing .5 pound a week.

Please tell me if i'm doing something wrong..been bugging me for hours now.

You have to adjust the calories as well, The calories might be off a bit however you will hit those macros.

Oh okay!! Thank you!

So should I go higher in calories to get more carbs in?
