    Thanks Killakyle I have tried calorific diets many times and have settled on low carb. I just joined My Fitness Pal as it actually has a lot of New Zealand foods which most trackers don't and I wasnt sure how to use it as a tracker with it being a calorie counter primarily :-)

    You can go to Goals > Change Goals > Custom and set your macros to the percentages you want. It only lets you use increments of 5%, but you can use more exact numbers if you open the website on a computer and use a script (it's linked in the group people linked above). You can also tell it to put the categories you actually care about on your main diary page; you're not stuck with the 5 default ones it shows you.
  • Getting good nutrients and minerals.
    How do you know whats good and bad?

    Well that's something you should probably learn lol.
  • I'm not gunna waste my time explaining to you goofs how to eat healthy. This ain't the food and nutrition forum.
  • Honestly if your a newbie you shouldnt be thinking low carb yet, pay your dues first and just eat a balanced diet.

    PAY YOUR DUES? What does that even mean????

    Signed: not low carb, but I find your posts here ABSURD.

    I mean just spend some time actually eating healthy, with a caloric deficit, and train to the best of your abilities before jumping into under 50g carbs a day. Not that I have anything against low carb, it's just an opinion no need to get worked up about it :p

    oh. That. Ok. How do you know the OP hasn't? (I think s/he has already said they aren't new to dieting just this little app.

    I could easily also suggest eating low carb before jumping in and counting the calories in everything you eat, weighing, measuring everything etc.

    That's why I said 'if your a newbie' in the first place. I think you need to lay off the test bud.

    True enough. You DID say "if your [sic] a newbie". And then you went on to say " you shouldnt be thinking low carb yet, pay your dues first and just eat a balanced diet." This suggest some how someone "earns' a low carb diet?

    Exactly.. and again just an opinion.

    OP: Are you trying to find out how to change the targets/% in your diary or are you asking what your macros should be?

    Why are you telling a female who has no picture and has not been aggressive to 'lay off the test bud'? [Not that you should be saying that to anyone, but saying it to the poster you are saying it its even sillier]

    Unless test has a new 'hip' meaning that I am not aware of. Apparently hippie has a new meaning nowadays.

    I never once said earned now did I. Low carb isn't for everyone expecially someone just starting out it's not necessary.. that's all I was saying but god forbid someone has an opinion!

    The username was not a clue?

    No one is worked up - you seem the most agitated one out of everyone in fact. The fact that you keep on about it and are insulting people may have something to do with the reception you are getting however.
  • Well all the people on my back about a harmless piece of advice can enjoy complaining about other peoples opinions. At least I let people have there own opinions cuz apparently you guys think if someone doesn't think the same as you that suddenly they are incorrect! That's okay with me everyone's different!

    I don't see how the username represents a female at all.. and I was the first one insulted so why should I not say anything back? I'm not worked up at all I just dont understand why people have to argue with an opinion it's kinda funny. Like you either agree or disagree with what I say why make it anymore then that?

    They were not really on your back until you started insulting people. Someone will always have a different opinion - just roll with it and/or explain your thinking without the snark/insults.

    Telling someone not to worry about it at first *may* be good advice. However, it helps to get some context. The OP was not a newb and has quite a bit of weight to lose (sorry OP) which makes it more likely that she has some amount of insulin resistance and may well do better on lower carbs than others.

    Sabine is a female name. Also, and I realize that this is stereotyping, but I doubt a guy (especially one on test) would have her avi up.

    Well I don't judge people so I wouldn't know. Obviously you missed alot if comments. I consider when people act like your an idiot that would be an insult like people were doing when I first had my opinion! And I probably know more then a few of you... I've been studying nutrition for a good 4 years and training and I'm half way through my personal trainer certificate so I do know a tad about fitness and nutrition..

  • All I said was that beginners shouldn't need to go low carb! That is all, why don't you ask some professionals and I bet majority would agree with me. If you read the comments the OP told me she was not a newbie but just new to mfp quite a while after I gave the advice and she even said thanks because I was trying to help! Now if that's such a crime you should really worry about more important things in your life just sayin..

    Sabine. It's a woman's name.
    To be fair the OP wasn't asking for advice as to WHICH kind of dieting to do. She was asking HOW to go about low carb here. She didn't ask if she should do low carb. Your "advice" didn't answer her question, or even address it. Does that make sense?

    "Professionals" would apply context and garner more information. Your 'advice' was given before she said she was not a newbie.

    Lol at the hyperbole.

    I read all of them.

    You should also read the community guidelines before flagging people who disagree with you or give you responses you do not like.
  • Ok calm down people haha. You do realize this is just a calorie counting app for your phone right? Lol there are much more important things I'm this world to be worrying about!

    Honestly if your a newbie you shouldnt be thinking low carb yet, pay your dues first and just eat a balanced diet.

    PAY YOUR DUES? What does that even mean????

    Signed: not low carb, but I find your posts here ABSURD.

    I mean just spend some time actually eating healthy, with a caloric deficit, and train to the best of your abilities before jumping into under 50g carbs a day. Not that I have anything against low carb, it's just an opinion no need to get worked up about it :p

    oh. That. Ok. How do you know the OP hasn't? (I think s/he has already said they aren't new to dieting just this little app.

    I could easily also suggest eating low carb before jumping in and counting the calories in everything you eat, weighing, measuring everything etc.

    That's why I said 'if your a newbie' in the first place. I think you need to lay off the test bud.

    Why are you telling a female who has no picture and has not been aggressive to 'lay off the test bud'? [Not that you should be saying that to anyone, but saying it to the poster you are saying it its even sillier]

    Unless test has a new 'hip' meaning that I am not aware of. Apparently hippie has a new meaning nowadays.

    Didnt know she was female lol. This is ridiculous how many people are worked up about one piece of harmless advice was given. Everyone hate on the potsmoker!

    The username was not a clue?

    No one is worked up - you seem the most agitated one out of everyone in fact. The fact that you keep on about it and are insulting people may have something to do with the reception you are getting however.

    I don't see how the username represents a female at all.. and I was the first one insulted so why should I not say anything back? I'm not worked up at all I just dont understand why people have to argue with an opinion it's kinda funny. Like you either agree or disagree with what I say why make it anymore then that?

    Sabine is a female name. Also, and I realize that this is stereotyping, but I doubt a guy (especially one on test) would have her avi up.

    Well I don't judge people so I wouldn't know. Obviously you missed alot if comments. I consider when people act like your an idiot that would be an insult like people were doing when I first had my opinion! And I probably know more then a few of you... I've been studying nutrition for a good 4 years and training and I'm half way through my personal trainer certificate so I do know a tad about fitness and nutrition..

    Then you should have learned in your studying nutrition that many need to go LC for medical reasons, not everyone, but many do. There was a good thread a few days back http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10108477/why-dont-the-low-carb-folks-believe-in-cico/p1 that can help you understand why some do LC, whether for medical reasons or because that is the only way they can have enough self control to stay under calories.
