Hello.

According to iifym I'm meant to consume 1559.06 calories per day with 137 g carbs, 135g protein and 52 g fat.. However in the goals section on this app I can't seem to plug this nutrition goal ?! The counter for carbs as an example only goes to 103g which makes up 100% of macronutrients.. V confused need help
Cheers..Sejal

    You have to use percentages.

    Thanks .The percentage relate to grams though. So when I selected 70% for carbs it converted to 72g carbs which isn't my goal

    For 103g of carbs you do this:

    103 * 4 (there are about 4 calories per g), so 412. Take 412 and divide it by your total calorie goal, so 1559. That gives you .26, which is 26%.

    Make sense?

    Protein has 4 calories per gram, and fat has 9.
