Wondering who decides the macro settings in MFP. I was alarmed to see 60% carbs!
I've changed mine to 40% carb 30%protein and 30%fat just because I feel better at these ratio's.
Anyone else changed thier settings and still had success??

    Forget ratios. Set your protein intake (1g per pound LBM for active individuals), try to hit ~.45g fat per pound body weight, and fill in the rest with what you like.

    40/30/30 c/p/f and that is usually over the grams of protein the other poster mentioned for most people.
