Macro's

Is there a way to add more then just the 6 micros to my food dairy? Also, how do i change a macro to what i want it to be instead of what MFP has it at? (I want to set Cholestoral to 200 instead of the 300 it is already at.)

    There are really only 3 broad general "macros", the others are either micros or a sub-set of a macro (i.e. sugar, which is a carb),

    To change the numbers go to custom and fill them in manually

    Click on goals ( I think it's under the my home tab) and then click change goals and custom rather than guided. It'll let you type in what amounts you want
  • OK. now i know how to change the numbers. Is there a way to track more Micros?

    I can't find a way of tracking the sub nutrients using the web site. They could be in the reports but I am unable to access them as using Android Jelly Bean so have no flash player.

    I also use the app version of MFP and on that if you go to the home tab and then click on Daily it comes up with the complete list of all nutrients. I use this a lot and there is also a tab for Weekly on there. I like to keep track of more than 6 it will allow you.

    Hope this helps.

    You can only track 6 at a time, but you can go in and change the ones you want to see as often as you want, it will just be time consuming as you will have to add them and remove them every time.

    In case you missed it you can track all nutrients on the app version of MFP under the daily tab on Home Screen and you can even have these as your home screen view by default if you don't have newsfeed instead.
