do you custom set the goals or use the recommended?

do you custom set your calories, fat, carbs, etc. or do you use the recommended percentages? If you custom set, what do you set the percentages for?

im still playing with my numbers so right now i've let it figure in for me. 1200 cals before exercise and i burn no less than 300 cals a day.

I custom set them because I'm breastfeeding and don't want to get to low. Right now I'm at 2000 but usually don't eat all of them (maybe 100 or so left) and I'm still tinkering with it. For me it's really just the accountability because I know if I have to enter everything on here I will be driving past more of the drive thrus!

Use recommended.

Im custom set to 1200 cals right now, 40% carbs 30% fat 30%protein... It's a weird combo I know, but I'm slowly trying to work my way down to 40/20/40 C/F/P and I usually try to burn 400+ cals a day and finish the week at 2000+ burned. However, I have heard that I need to eat more... net at least 1200 cals yadayada... I believe this is true and I am going to a dietitian on the 10th to really get some authoritative advice, because disordered eating is a problem for me... but I think playing around with your intake is fine as long as you eat enough, feel free to peek at my diary, it's public.

Custom, the protein seems to be way off for anyone who exercises.

Started out with recommended but decided to lower my carbs just a bit and increase my protein. Also lowered my fat a bit. I'm at 50/30/20 - C/P/F. Just trying this to see what happens.
