Use this at your own risk.
Please do not post publicly yet as I'm waiting for moderator approval just to make sure this doesn't violate MFP rules.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    First of all, this thread is full of awesome -- thanks SideSteel!!

    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. :o)

    ** Edited to add: I just tested to make sure negative values still work, and they do.

    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.
