IIFYM and MFP

Anyone else find that MFP doesn't work too well with setting macro nutrient goals? I'm transitioning to the IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros) or flexible eating diet and I can't find any online or phone apps that work well with this form of nutrient tracking... Any suggestions?

If you mean how MFP won't let you put your goals in in grams, then there is a workaround for that. Also Send MFP an email that you want to be able to input your macro goals in grams! The more people that do, the more likely they are to support it. The workaround is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeV8KlRXpuo0

MFP will allow you to enter specific gram goals. You will just be asked for percentages of total intake instead of just entering them directly. Just play with it until you get the numbers that you want.0

I use it for IIFYM too. I simply used the custom percentages.0

Sorry for the late response everyone... Seems I can't set the settings to my exact macros... I'll try out the workaround and see how that goes... I played around with the percentages a bit and was able to get them in the ball park, however, when I exercise, the percentages increase and don't stay where I'd like them to be... Any suggestions?0

Don't log your exercises if you don't want them to be a factor lol0
