    Macro = macro nutrient. Micro = micro nutrient. Macro nutrients are proteins, carbs, and fats. Micro nutrients are vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, phytochemicals, etc.

    You can set your goals in the custom goal section and it will show right in your diary how much protein, fat, and carbs you get each day. MFP displays some of the micro nutrients but there are too many to really count and track daily. The key to hitting micros is to eat lots of nutritious, micro nutrient-rich foods each day.
