When you custom change your goals, can you set your Carbs, Fat, and Protein to your own preferred total, or is it preset thru MFP?
Thanks

    I know that you can go "Goals" and change your daily targets. But when you change 1 the other 2 will change to add up to 100%. I guess that I was wondering if it was possible to change the targets to "your" choices. But from what I can see, I can't. So, I've changed them to reflect as close as I can. Thanks anyway.... Kat :)

    In my experience, you can change 2 out of the 3 and the 3rd will default to what's left.

    It will make it equal 100% so you only need to change 2/3 because the third factor has no other option in order for it to equate to 100.

    That's the part that sucks. If you can meet your macro goals in less than your calorie target, it forces artificially high "goal" on that third macro.

    I'd like to be able to set my macros in terms of straight grams, without reference to caloric intake (i.e., no percentages).
