How are you guys setting your goals in MFP since surgery. My doc told me to work really hard to increase my calories to 800 and to increase protein. When I set the calorie goal at 800, MFP dropped the protein goal to 40. Any suggestions?

    Go into settings and fix your macros manually. My goals are 900 with protein at about 70- 80. (6 months out from sleeve) :smile:

    16mo post-RNY, mine are:

    cals: 1145
    carbs: 35g
    fibre: 25g
    protein: 105g
    fat: 65g

    Those are my base. I get to eat that even if all I do is breathe and blink. As I exercise, I have it add back my calories at 15% carbs, 20% protein, 65% fat. I don't eat that much fat, but it has to equal to 100%. My workouts can often be intense, so I need the add back. But, they vary. So, I have mine set to give me base macros and then add back and I work out throughout the day.
