How do I change the macro percentages?

I want to use MFP but I'm struggling to see how to alter the amounts of Protein, Carb and Fat that have been calculated for me. I have read through the PDF on getting started, and I found the piece on editing your fitness goals, but I want to alter the food goals. I am low carbing and I don't like being told to eat 186 grams of carb per day! lol

Can this be done? Please, anyone??

    Yes, it can, very simply.

    My Home - Goals - change goals - custom.

    This will allow you to set the percentages of carbs/ protein and fat.
