Hi there

I have a friend who low carbs as she had intolerances I have been going on about how good this site is so she wants to have a look.

Can you low carb on here or will it just knock out all the figures in your food diary with it being in calories?

Thanks

    Normally I would go on a rant about low carb, but it sounds like your friend is actually doing it for reasonable health purposes and not as a "diet" to lose weight, so...

    You can manually adjust your macro % under Goals > Custom Goals.

    Hi Debs,

    Yes, it's possible to go low-carb here. You don't have to stay under your calorie goals if that's not what you're aiming for. Being over won't earn you any negative points around here. :wink: Do what's best for you. (Or your friend in this case)

    To manually set your Food Goals to meet your needs, follow these steps:

    1. Click on Food> Settings> Goals.
    2. Change Goals> Custom.
    3. Adjust accordingly.

    Hope this helps.
