Is anyone here following a low carb/healthy carb plan? Is there a way to put that info in my settings so the "calculator" knows I'm doing low carb rather than low calorie? How many calories are allowed for a low carb diet?

    I eat a low carb diet but I allow myself the same amount of calories as someone following any other kind of diet on this site.

    You can define the percentages of carb, fat and protein you are going for.

    My Home-->Goals-->Change Goals-->Select "Custom" and "Continue."

    adjust ur goals, u have to make them custom/manual

    a typical ratio is 60/35/5 - fats/protein/carbs

    basically what the guy above said

    Thanks to each of you! I'm new to this site, so I'm still trying to figure out all the settings, etc. So far I love this site! I think it's going to be perfect to help me lose.
