    You can tweak it at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_custom

    If you were at 1600 calories per day and keeping carbs low at 100g that would be 25%. At 1200 total the same grams of carbs is 33%. If that's too much just reduce the setting.

    My carbs are set at 40. But I try to keep them under 100 g a day. I'm allotted more. I'd tell you to look at my diary but lately with this heat I haven't been eating like I normally do.
