    I've got mine set to:
    calories: 1660
    carbs: 125
    protein:125
    sugar: 33
    sodium: 1500
    potassium: 4000 minimum

    I'm working on upping my potassium & keeping my sodium under 1500. My calories are not as much of an issue, especially w/ the amount of cals burned while using my HRM during my workouts of over an hour. I am focusing on eating more fruits/veggies to achieve a lower sodium content.

    After reading these posts...I'm going to change mine to

    cal:1400
    carb: 40%
    Protein: 30%
    fat: 30%

    Let's see how that goes!?

    Thanks so much

    I'm 5"0 and about 120lbs. I have my calories set at 1300 but I usually eat around 1500. (I have learned I will always go over by about 200 cals so I set them lower then needed).

    I focus on weight training so I do:
    Protein - 40% (about 130 grams)
    Carbs - 30% (less than 100 grams)
    Fat - 30% (43 grams)

    1700 calories, 149 g protein, 149 g carbs, 57 g fat. I try to stay between 140 and 160 g of both protein and carbs and between 50 and 60 g of fat.

    I don't count/track calories but spot check for my macro percentages a couple times a month. I have those set to 40f/30p/30c.
