I just finished entering all my low protein product and formula into the data base , only to discover all my low protein protein amounts where rounded to 0 grams by my fitness pal. For example, 1 cup of Aprotein Rigatini i entered in as 0.4 grams of protein and it changed it to 0 grams. How will this work? if i have 2 servings now on this app it will say o grams of protein when really it would be almost 1 gram or 50 mg of phe? i hope this does not effect my levels! I am on the pre conception diet and I really need to be strickt and watch my intake. How do you all track your intake? Do you account for this by lowering your daily intake protein?

    Hi Amanda! Thanks for putting this group together. Myfitnesspal isn't totally accurate with the phe/protein, but just having the daily record of it helps with the accountability big time. Even if you're off 1-3 grams per day your levels should be ok (although I suppose it also depends on how much phe you are allowed to eat).
