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.0 -
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!?

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)0 -
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.0

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.0
