    You can set them on MFP. Its in settings somewhere...I always get lost getting there. I'll figure it out (again) and message you.

    Yes, you can set yours. Go to My Home > Goals and you can change all the settings there.

    Macros or macronutrients are what the human diet is mostly made up of, carbs, fat and protein. Micronutrients are the things we need less of, like vitamins and minerals.
    40-30-30 is the ratio of the macros (I am sorry I can't remember what order they go in). People with different goals have different ratios. Active people may require more protein so they set theirs higher than MFP suggests. Certain diets call for different ratios, like a low carb diet.
