This will allow you to set your intake by 1g increments instead of 5%.

Most excellent, thanks!0

Nice! Tagging. This "close be not exact" was making my inner accountant scream. 0

Awesome, thank you! Works perfectly.0

Is there any way to set this so that if I record calories for a workout, they ALL add on to carbs, for example? I am thinking no. Still, awesome. Thanks for sharing.0

Thanks again:-)0

Yes, you can set one of your macros up as a "fill" column, so any calories not allocated to the other two macros will go there. I set my carbs (the obvious choice) up this way.0

fantastic. this is perfect, thanks0 -
Maybe I'm slow but I have set up carbs to fill and I added exercise, and it didn't allocate the extra calories to carbs...
is it just me?0 -
No, I'm slow, I didn't understand the question. This is a great idea, and I have an idea for how I might be able to make it work, but I'm not 100% sure it's possible. Stay tuned.0

ok thanks
still fantastic job!0 -
First of all, this thread is full of awesome -- thanks SideSteel!!Maybe I'm slow but I have set up carbs to fill and I added exercise, and it didn't allocate the extra calories to carbs...

I don't know of a way to do it automatically -- that would be fabulous -- but there is a (clumsy) workaround you can use based on the fact that, last I checked, MFP allows you to assign negative values to a food. Create two foods, "Fat-to-Carbs" and "Protein-to-Carbs" or something like that. Give Fat-to-Carbs 0 calories, -1 g of fat and 2.25g of carbs. Protein-to-Carbs gets 0 calories, -1 g of protein and 1 g of carbs.
Now when MFP adds calories for you, you'll have to do a bit of math. Know your regular protein and fat goal numbers, and subtract those from what you see after MFP added calories. If it added say, 10g protein, and 4g fat to your goal, then add 10g of Protein-to-Carbs to your diary, and 4g of Fat-to-Carbs.
Like I said, it's clumsy, but it works.

I hit "install" and it did nothing but give me a page full of computer language. What am I supposed to do with that?This was on my Mac at home. Will try it in windows at the office.0

Seem to work for me in Chrome - thanks for the link! It's very cool.0

If you are using Chrome, you need to install the Tampermonkey extension that allows you to install userscripts: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo
On FireFox, you need to install the Greasemonkey add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
After you install the necessary extension, go to the userscripts page and click the install button. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1766960 -

I totally wrote that backwards -- if anyone actually wants to use this, Fat-to-Carbs should have -2.25g carbs (so carbs get added to your goal) and 1g fat (so fat goal is reduced). Likewise, Protein-to-Carbs should have -1g carbs and 1g protein.0 -
This is so awesome!0

Sweeeeeeeet!!! He also has a userscript for ACCURATE calorie totals based off the macros script!! Finally, a script that will give me a break from calculating everything :drinker: !! :happy:0 -
