Just wondering what the % carbs/protein/fat is.. how do I figure this out, it's probs just on the default setting:

Cals 1,200 Carbs 165 Fat 40 Protein 45

I'm normally over on protein and under on carbs so guess I should adjust my goals?

FWIW I am trying to limit carbs (especially processed) and fill up on lean proteins and veggies. No idea if it's working yet as I've only been logging my food properly since Monday 13 and starting exercising same time, I don't keep scales in the house so planning to use the Boots one on Sunday morning, 2 weeks in - here's hoping :smile:

    If you go to my home then my goals and select change goals then choose the manual option you can set the percentages yourself.

    I would set my protein up and my carbs down that is what I did. The protein count is low here. I have mine set about 120 with carbs the same.

    If you haven't changed it it is set at 55% carbs/15% protein/30% fat. If you want to change it go to 'Goals', scroll down to 'Change Goals' then go to 'Custom'

    Ah found it! What's a good balance for a highish protein/lowish carb diet?? Or what's the best balance for weight loss?

    For me 40/40/20 (C/P/F) works well. I tend to lose weight a lot faster when I stick to high protein.

    Also forgot to ask, is eg the 40/40/20 thing based on the total grams or the amount of calories from those types of foods? (does that even make sense??)

    EDIT - got it now - when you go to change it it calculates it for you! Phew...
