I am looking for a food tracker that will also assist in keeping track of protein/fat/and carbs target macros . Am I missing something on ours ? Does anyone use any others that are helpful?

    I'm confused. Isn't that what MFP does?

    This. Otherwise I've been doing it wrong.

    Agreed.

    Is there something about MFP's that you don't like?

    You can modify your Macros in MyFitnssPal to be a custom % of fat/protein/carbs rather than the present one --- and you can pull up a nice pie chart to see what your target and what you actually ate each day

    This is exactly what map does. It's the pie chart that shows the % of each food group

    Go to food--> settings to change what shows up on your food tab. Go to my home-->goals-->custom goals to enter your own goals for macros.

    Yes... That is what MFP does... It isn't very extensive on the phone app, but it does give you daily values. (On the main app screen, hit the "Daily" button.

    But OP, if you sign into the website, it breaks everything down for each food, and from that you can easily total each meal.
