My calorie gola MFP has chosen for me is 1200 and i am ok with that. However, wheat I read online for the amount of carbs, fat, etc (posted above) is not the goals MFP set for me.

According to what I read online, the goals for a 1200 calorie diet should be as follows.


If you are following a 1200 calorie diet, this is equal to 135-165 grams of carbohydrate per day.
If you are following a 1200 calorie diet, this is equal to 33-40 grams of fat per day.


MFP has my goals for those two items set at Carbs-186 and Fat-42

    That's because MFP's protein setting is very low. If you customize your settings so that 25-30% of your calories come from protein, the fat and carb settings will drop down.
