I got a consultation from a friend - she gave me my starting macros
165 C, 160 P, 45 F
But when I go to customize the settings, it says 171g carbs and I only get to change the percentage (40%) - any way I can change the grams??
Please help!

  • What exactly do the percentages represent? The portion of calories that nutrient should be?

    Yep. Percentage of intake.

    out of 2000 (round number) of calories, 40% are X, 40% Y, 20% Z. (or whatever).

    It's ballpark.

    Actually there is a way to set your macros in grams on MFP. Send me a PM if you want help doing so
