My macros were reset, I haven't logged in a while and now I notice that they may have been reset. I can't remember where I had them, can you share with me where you set your macros??

    "My Home" tab > "Goals" > the green "Change Goals" button at the bottom of the page.

    ETA: Sorry, I just realized you may have been asking at what percentage you should set each macro. In regards to paleo? Mine are 60% fat, 30% protein and 10% carb. I can't give you an objective ratio to set them at because I don't know of one.

    Yes, thanks :D I meant the percentages. I have been needing to track again.

    Mine are set at 70F/25P/5C, but that's mostly because we go low carb (I rarely actually get the carbs that low, it's just something to aim for eventually).

    On standard primal, mine were set more at 60F/30P/10C (which is still pretty low carb).

    I set my macros not at ratios, but at minimums for fat and protein. Around 0.82-1g protein and 0.4-0.5g fat per lb bodyweight (123lbs) and came up with 110g protein, 61g fat (personal preference).

    I fill the remainder of my calories with whatever. Could be carbs, could be fats, could be more protein. Whatever I like. Mostly chocolate.
