I use MFP to track my MACROS. I even used a Macro Enhancement that allows me to put exact grams of each macro as opposed to percentages. Bottom line is . . . at end of day after tracking I'll have let's say 12 carbs, 7 fats and -4 protein BUT it will say I have 188 calories left? With carbs and protein being 4g and fat being 9g - I should have 95 left. I realize that not every food has the MACROS listed perfectly but should my goal be to hit the calories?? or the MACROS?? THANKS!!

Yeah, its screwy. I did the same enhancement, but also set my calorie goal at 0, so I'm always over lol! I only care about hitting my macros at the end of the day.0

Haha good idea. Only issue is I'm trying to "bulk" and I want to make sure I'm hitting my calories
Just not sure which is more reliable, the cal count or the macro count. 0 -
Just hit your macros.....mfp is always screwy!!....do the math and you'll see that your calories are right where they should be.0
