What are the guidelines used for the food diary?? Is MFP using AHA guidelines? I was just reading something on how much fat people should eat and the AHA recommendations are 30% a day of intake should be in fat, of course good fat. I am awful with math and percentages...how do I calculate that??? Thanks!!!

    i don't know how to calculate it but if you want different percentages of foods then go into change settings custom and then put fat as 30%, i think MFP puts it at 20 anyway but you can check! I'm not sure what it was originally cause I altered my goals slightly becauseI found the protein to be too low for me.
